Digital Tutors - Render Scripting Using Python in Maya and Pdplayer

Duration 2h 31m Level Advanced Project files Included MP4

Throughout these lessons we will look at how we can use the pre and post render scripting options to automate time consuming processes. These options are often overlooked and have a great use.

We'll look in to how we can use these to, for instance, send an email upon render finish with some scene data and an image attachment. We'll also learn how we can automatically create and generate slap comps for both

QuickTime and NUKE.By the end of this training you should have a wider understanding of how to use these parameters.
