Render elements always saving.

[squeakybadger]

Hi all,

Is it possible to get Corona to stop saving out render elements when the save file box is disabled in 3dsmax?

We do a lot of test renders without always saving a file, but the render element paths are still active and will save out.

As a workaround, I have been running a script the strips all element paths, but sometime you forget and all elements from previous jobs are overwritten.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hello,

Try this piece of script (save your file before ):

re = maxOps.GetCurRenderElementMgr()
for i = 0 to re.NumRenderElements()  do re.SetRenderElementFilename i ""

Why not just use “Iterative” (not “Interactive”) mode for test renders? No files are saved at all, even when output is enabled.

Good Luck
