Load Render Setup JSON file with python

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

Is there a python method to load my exported (JSON file) Renderlayer setup with python?

All I can see with "echo all commands" on are the UI commands, which are not useful.

I have to say that the Documentation for the new Render Setup system is realy minimal.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

David

Hi,

I am looking into this now. I'll need to talk with our engineers about this. It might be a little bit delay because of holiday. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,

Hi,

Sorry for keeping you waiting. I've got a solution for you now.

import maya.app.renderSetup.model.renderSetup as renderSetup

import json

"""import is decode(jsonObject, importOption, optionalPrefix)
jsonObject is the json string you'll need to import.
importOption could be DECODE_AND_RENAME, DECODE_AND_MERGE, DECODE_AND_OVERWRITE
The optionalPrefix could be none if you don't want a prefix and it is only working with DECODE_AND_RENAME option
"""
def importRenderSetup(filename):
    with open(filename, "r") as file:
        renderSetup.instance().decode(json.load(file), renderSetup.DECODE_AND_OVERWRITE, None)

Hope it helps.

Yours,

Li
