Add watermark to final image, automatically

[DANIELE_CASAROLA]

hi!

Is it possible to launch a series of renders and add automatically into the final mage a watermark, a sort of logo for example, in this way I bypass the photoshop step...

Thanks a lot.

In f10 menu - the last tab v4 elements there is option to make a little annotation at bottom of image - I think U could tweak it up to brand ur images... also u can just put ur watermark on a opacity plane in front of camera...

or an action in PhotoShop.

why not use 3dsmax video post?

You know... using photoshop it means to add others actions to a workflow, if I do just one project it's good, but I think it will be faster if I'm working on different projects, different resolutions and so on. I know it seams a crazy thing but trust me, in a job like computer graphic "automatism" most of the time is the key...

I can't find the option under render elements to add annotation... which one?

You can use Martin's excellent infoOverlay which is a scripted RenderEffect:

Try talking to PEN I think he has some tools for this sort of thing.

I would hate to accidently leave the watermark on for final renders. I have used something like this:

Thanks a lot for all the answers.

Infooverlay script works great... but not with VrayFrameBuffer.

3dsmax video post... I've taken a look but I'm confusing about his usage for this issue..

Thank you again.
