How Do I Set Render Globals > Image Compression?

[Anonymous]

Hello

I'm developing a script to set up new scenes. As part of my script I want the Render Globals set. Some scenes require Image Format: exr, Image Compression: ZIP. Other scenes require Image Format: iff, Image Compression: None.

I can set the image formats

// Set image format.
 if (getSceneType() == "NPR") {
 
 // NPR.
 
 // Set the image format to .iff.
 setAttr defaultRenderGlobals.imageFormat 7;
 
 }
 else
 {
 
 // Photo.
 setAttr defaultRenderGlobals.imageFormat 51;
 setAttr defaultRenderGlobals.imfkey -type "string" "exr";
 setAttr mentalrayGlobals.imageCompression 4;
 
 }

As you can see I've tried using 'setAttr mentalrayGlobals.imageCompression 4;' But this does not set the imageCompression back to none.

Can someone advise me how to do this properly please.

Thank you.

I don't see a line for setting the iff compression to 'none'...
You need:

// Set image format.
 if (getSceneType() == "NPR") {
 
 // NPR.
 
 // Set the image format to .iff.
 setAttr defaultRenderGlobals.imageFormat 7;
 setAttr mentalrayGlobals.imageCompression 1; 

 }
 else
 {
 
 // Photo.
 setAttr defaultRenderGlobals.imageFormat 51;
 setAttr defaultRenderGlobals.imfkey -type "string" "exr";
 setAttr mentalrayGlobals.imageCompression 4;
 
 }
