setting output width and height in RhinoScript

[rdwells]

Is there a way to use RhinoScript to set the renderer's image output size?

That is, I want to programmatically set the Width and Height in the Output tab of the Render Options dialog.

It's very simple.
1) don't use the override in Vray Option
2) create a new button with a script that change the Rhino Render size properties.

If you don't know how to do the num.2 let's look on the on-line help (function key F1) and seqrch for toolbar customization.

You can do this by yourself for sure!

But my question is, how do I do this from a script? What command or RhinoScript function would I use?

Let me clarify a little further.

Using the Rhino Renderer, I can use

"-DocumentProperties Render Resolution Type Custom Height 1000 Width 1000"

in a script to set the render output size to 1000x1000. I need the equivalent command for VRay.

I tried "-visOptions", but even with the initial "-" it brings up the dialog. It doesn't appear to support a pure command line interface like DocumentProperties does.

At the moment you can NOT access to any Vray option trough a script.
So, I'm sorry, the only way it's to use the Rhinorender resolution as described in my prev post.

If you want to use a script you can do the same by the scripted version of Rhinorender.

Unfortunately, I need to use V-Ray, not the built-in Rhino rendering module. I guess I'll have to keep using a different file for each resolution I want to render.

Sorry Richard,
probably I'm not able to explain me.

The way you use for Rhinorender to set-up rendering dimension
work ALSO for VrayforRhino.

You can handle Resolution from the Vray Option or from Rhino Option also if you have VrayforRhino

Try IT!

Are you saying that setting the rendering resolution via _-DocumentProperties should affect the V-Ray resolution? I tried that, and I don't get that behavior.
