Output Manager ?

[BenDel]

Hi,

Just an Idea... it's not a blocking point, but it's just something useful :
That would be great to link different RenderElement to one or several Outputs
ex:
Beauty >>> 1 .exr
All objectID, materialID, multimatte, etraTex >>> 1 .exr multi-channel
LightSelect element >>> 1 .exr multi-channel
etc...

Of course, that means something only for .exr ouput
Maybe we could choose different format and folder for each ouput.

It could be done, but it would be somewhat complicated to set up I guess...

Best regards,
Vlado

In MentalRay, there are "groups/sets" for pass.
We can "group" renderElements. If we disable the group/set, all renderElements in this group/set will not be renderer.
Perhaps in this "group/set" (the node), we can have an "override" where we set the new ouput format, like "override output format".
Simple and easy to setup.
