I was wondering if it’s possible to add in the framestamp, the name of the image that you’re saving.
So if you’re saving your rendered image as 2008-01-10 library, could that be added to the framestamp? Since we’re using a different way of naming our files, adding the filename of the Max scene would be useless to us.
While I was thinking about how I could solve this at the moment without needing to type it out with EVERY single render I make, I thought about if it would be possible to have the framestamp load information from a text file or something. Kind of like the max script string.
For example, we’re thinking about using the following format:
< yyyy-mm.#### name > so: < 2008-01.0001 library > (without the < >)
Now, say we’d make a simple .txt file with on every new line a file name, like this:
In the framestamp info, you’d enter a string like this %txt<filename&location?>-<linenr.> and vray would read the file, look for the specified linenumber and then add the name behind that linenumber as framestamp?
%txt<renderseries&c:\documents…>-<01.>
It sounds complicated, and maybe it’s not an easy way at all and would using the name of the image be alot easier. But it could be worth considering?
-edit-
After thinking and discussing about it, I think this is a too complicated option…
