First draft, formatting is a bit all over the place: General RPMdata.RMopenFloater() --- open the RPManager UI RPMdata.GetPassCount() --- <integer> number of passes in the scene RPMdata.GetPassSelection() --- array of integers corresponding to the indices of the selected passes in the pass list. RPMdata.SetPassSelection <int array> --- array of integers corresponding to the indices of the selected passes in the pass list.

The render setting keeps being switched off, and I’ve tried switching it on with or without having the RPManager window open, but it keeps getting reset when I click render. What is the correct procedure when you want to remember these non-RPM render parameters? text/html 2008-04-21T10:09:05-06:00 grant adam http://www.rpmanager.com/wiki/doku.php?id=vppreview:viewport_preview_utility&amp;rev=1208790545&do=diff1208790545 This tool allows you to preview RPManager passes, much like doing a max preview to AVI but with many more options.

Generators do not have the vray raw image handling applied, they are assumed to be generating only (though they might output frames to view the solution, it does not need to be much. You can manually setup the vray raw settings for generator passes if you need it, RPM will n…
