PencilRenderElementsEps
PencilRenderElementsEps nodes are used to output to EPS files. You can output only specific lines by specifying the edges and line set IDs to output.
Basic Parameters¶
Settings related to Render Elements output.
On¶
Enable / disable the PencilRenderElementsEps node. The output file will not be generated when disabled.
Output Parameter¶
Settings related to EPS file output.
File Type¶
Select the file type you wish to output.
Adobe Illustrator 8 EPS (*.eps)¶
Save to an EPS file format that can be read by Adobe Illustrator version 8 and up. Some other applications can also read this format. Supports layers.
Encapsulated Post Script (*.eps)¶
Save to an EPS file format that does not depend on a specific application. It should be supported by more applications than the "Adobe Illustrator 8 EPS (*.eps)" format, but layers are not supported.
Image File Output¶
Settings related to image file output.
Output Path¶
Output path for the image files.
Scene¶
Output files to the path specified in Maya's [Render Settings].
Custom¶
Output files to the specified path.
Output File Name¶
Specify file path and file name. Absolute and relative paths can be specified. The folder icon can be clicked to use a browser to specify the path.
Maya's [Render Tokens] can be used in the file output name.
Absolute Path¶
Enter a file output name such as "C:\Scene001\FileName" to specify an absolute path.
Relative Path¶
You can specify paths relative to the path specified in Maya's [Render Settings]. Enter a file output name such as "/Filename" to specify a relative path. The parent directory can also be specified such as "../../Scene001/FileName".
Separate Folder¶
Enable / disable the creation of a folder to output the image files.
Enable to create a folder to save the EPS files. The name of the node is used to name the folder.
Disable to output the EPS files without creating a folder. In that case, the file name will be constructed as [File name prefix + Separator + Node name].
Separator¶
Symbol used to separate the [File name prefix] and the PencilRenderElementsEps node name.
Output Category¶
Use these options to output [Visible Lines] and [Hidden Lines] independently.
Visible Lines¶
