<renderman_rendering_file> ‐ The control of the output of Renderman scene descriptions
This element defines the names of the files that are used for storing the Renderman scene description files, and the period and the rate for Renderman output with respect to the frame rate.
The string value of the id attribute defines the prefix of the Renderman file names. The Renderman output is active if and only if this string is not empty. This prefix is complemented with a frame number and a .rib extension to produce the final file name.
The integer values of the begin and end attributes define the frame numbers between which Renderman output files are produced. The integer value step of the step attribute defines the output rate: a file is produced every step frames.
None.
The example below will produce Renderman files named renderman/p22XXXXX.rib in which XXXXX represents a frame number left padded with 0s. The Renderman files are produced one frame on every 2 between frame number 4000 and frame number 4700.
<renderman_rendering_file begin="4000" end="4700" step="2" id="renderman/p22"/>
