GP Render

Organise export of gp layers through compositor output

Environment variables

FILE_FORMAT : Define file_format used for output. If not specified, use OPEN_EXR_MULTILAYER (set OPEN_EXR for separate sequences)

GP_RENDER_MERGE_PATTERN : Regex pattern for GP layer group merge. If not specified, pattern is ^([A-Z]{2})_ to match gp_toolbox two-capital-letter prefix system)

Notable operator arguments for automatisation

• scene (str) Define scene where GP object will be linked and rendered, if ommited scene use name renderGP (create scene if needed)
• node_scene (str) Define scene where renderlayer nodes are addes and connected (create scene if needed), if ommited use scene arg above

Following string template can be set to customize file-output paths : base_path, file_slot, layer_slot.

• base_path : file output base path
• file_slot : file output slots
• layer_slot: file output slots when using multilayer EXR (EXR layer names)

Available template keywords:

• {object} : Object name
• {gplayer} : GP layer name

Default template if nothing is passed:

• base_path = //render/{object} (if using multilayer-EXR: //render/{object}/{object}_)
• file_slot = {gplayer}/{gplayer}_
• layer_slot = {gplayer}
