Parasol - Load RenderPasses

From Parasol

Compositing Scripts

Description

[edit]

Load_RenderPasses is a Script to improve your workflow, when you use Multipass Renderings stored as singlechannel Exrs.

Instead of importing any Light or Data Pass one after the other, you only need to import one pass or the beauty Rendering select it and run the script.

Additionally you have the choice which pass you wanted to be imported via the Askuser Interface. in this Version of the script every pass is checked by default, so every pass will be imported by default.

If you only want to import one or a few passes use --Parasol--Load RenderPasses_Zero

The Renderpasses are sorted by a giving List Described on top of the script. That List is now specified for Vray Lightpasses. Any Pass that does not belong to the list is imported last.

There is also an embedded color code:

Result Passes are basically blue and can be distinguished by a brigthness change. Raw Passes are basically green and can also be distinguished by a brigthness change. Data passses like depth passes are grey and differs in brightness. Any Pass not included in the list is clear grey.


This color code is also based on the the list which is described in the script.

Requirement

[edit]

Python 2.7 must be installed!

The renderings should be stored as an Imagesequence exr is the best opportuninity.

All Sequences should be stored into the same Folder.

The files should be named like this:
