ogsRender creates tmp folder

Anonymous — Sat, 24 Jan 2015 02:29:16 GMT

Hello,

When I use cmds.ogsRender the rendered file is put somewhere in <Project root>/images/tmp/filename.####.ext.

How to I make Maya stop creating the tmp folder? I didn't tell Maya to make it.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if you can make it stop doing that. It may just be something internal to the ogsRender command. I have noticed that when I use the "camera" flag for that command, it puts the image in "<cameraName>" subfolder (like "persp" or "myCamera") instead of "tmp".

I ended up using shutil.move after the image has been rendered to move it to where I want.

That's a bummer. I was hoping I wouldn't have to move it manually, but I guess there's no other option. Thank you for the reply.
