file format extension

[cdavis]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what i need to type in my maya.bat file for a 16 bit tiff or exr ? I currently have" -of exr " which gives me a full 32 bit exr , but its a bit overkill for what i need , but tif only gives me 8 bit. Just wondering if anyone can help me get a 16 bit image out.
Thanks

You must set this before exporting the .vrscene file from Maya, in the "Image format options" dialog. If you already have a .vrscene file, then you need to modify (or add it, if not there already) a SettingsEXR plugin, like this:

SettingsEXR exrSettings {
  bits_per_channel=16;
}

Best regards,
