Changing Defaults 2005-05-23 - By Guillaume Laforge

You can use an OnEndNewScene events like this :
//Save this file in C:\ for example as "render_option.js"
//-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- --
function XSIApplication::OnEndNewScene( data, change )
{
SetValue("Passes.Default_Pass.RenderOptions.ImageFormat",
"{32D3C209-0E3B-11CF-AFA9-00AA00629284}", null);
SetValue("Passes.Default_Pass.RenderOptions.PictureStandard", 18, null);
logmessage("Image default format is changed !");
}
Then run this line :
Application.Advise( "OnEndNewScene", "C:\\render_option.js", "", "JScript",
"render_option", null, null, true ) ;
Now each time you start a new scene you're render option are set to SGI and
the format will be HDTV 1080 ( in my example). The limitation is that when
you open xsi, you must create a new scene to run the event :-/
As kim said, duplicating pass is a simple way to keep the settings. I always
use this little script who rename the new pass and give it a output file
name too :
/*
name_pass_and_output.js
guillaume.laforge.3d@(protected) - 2005
What this script do :
Rename the pass and the image file with the same name.
How to use it :
Select the pass and run
*/
if(selection.count==1)
{
var oSel = Selection(0)
//add a custom property to store the name.
var sceneItem = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
var oProp = sceneItem.AddCustomProperty ("Name_for_pass_and_file")
oProp.addparameter3( "name_shot_is", siString, "", null, null, false, false
)
oProp.addparameter3( "name_pass_is", siString, "", null, null, false, false
)
InspectObj( oProp, "", "pass_and_file_name", siModal, true )
sName = oProp.parameters( "name_pass_is" ).value
sShot = oProp.parameters( "name_shot_is" ).value
logmessage (sName)
DeleteObj(oProp);
//Set the pass name.
SetValue(oSel+".Name", sName, null);
//Set the file name.
SetValue(oSel+".RenderOptions.ImageFileName",
"Render_Pictures\\"+sShot+"_"+sName, null);
}
else
{
logmessage (" Please select a pass ")
}
Hope this help,
