Maya RenderSetup and RenderEngine

[oglu]

Is there any way to override the RenderEngine form CPU to GPU RTX with Rendersetup?
That would be from great help!

Hi oglu

Close all Maya sessions and open a new Maya file, go to Render Settings and set V-Ray GPU RTX. From the Presets tab on the Render Settings dialog, select Export Render Settings. After the export, go to Presets > Set Preferred Render Settings and select the preset you've just exported: see screenshot

Im talking about a RenderSetup override.
Not the Rendersettings itself. Its not possible to override the Render Engine.

Hi @oglu!
Currently it is not possible to create the render setup override through the UI control.
What you can do is manually create the override for the respective render setup layer with Python script:
import maya.app.renderSetup.views.overrideUtils as utils; utils.createAbsoluteOverride('vraySettings', 'productionEngine')
There you can choose between the following valid values:
0 (V-Ray), 2 (V-Ray GPU), 3 (V-Ray GPU with RTX on)
