Automation of rendering presets - Maya MEL
vertex
I was wondering if anyone could help with automating the batch rendering of multiple camera and render presets.
We have sets of presets for each isometric direction. up, up/right, right, etc... Could we create a .MEL script which would automatically change each preset for the camera and render settings and batch render it?
Eg, psedocode...
render settings - set preset="ur"
camera - set preset="ur"
batch render - wait
render settings - set preset="r"
camera set preset="r"
batch render - wait
Etc...
At least we only have eight angles... Sixteen angles would be impractical to render without automation.
render settings - set preset="ur"
camera - set preset="ur"
batch render - wait
render settings - set preset="r"
camera set preset="r"
batch render - wait

Simply rendering out eight cameras into eight folders in one batch, then running a php script to combine and organize those images into a spritesheet.
