public class HfsRenderAction
extends BaseAction

Renders a sequences of images directly from a Houdini scene.

This action provides a convienent method for evaluating a renderer output operator contained in the source Houdini scene using hscript(1). The target primary file sequence should contain the images to be rendered. The frame range (trange f1 f2 f3) and output picture (picture) parameters of this operator will be overridden by the Action to correspond to the images regenerated by the job.

The following Houdini output operators are supported by this action:

Mantra - The Houdini renderer.
OpenGL - The Houdini hardware renderer.
Wren - The Houdini line renderer.
RenderMan - RenderMan compliant renderers.
MentalRay - The MentalRay raytracer.

See the Houdini documentation for details on the usage and behavior of renderer output operators and hscript(1).

This action defines the following single valued parameters:

Output Operator

The name of the render output operator.

Camera Override

Overrides the render camera (if set).

Houdini Scene

The source node which contains the Houdini scene file to render.

Pre Render Script

The source node which contains the command script to evaluate before rendering begins.

Post Render Script

The source node which contains the command script to evaluate after rendering ends.

Pre Frame Script

The source node which contains the command script to evaluate before rendering each frame.

Post Frame Script

The source node which contains the command script to evaluate after rendering each frame.

Use Graphical License

Whether to use an interactive graphical Houdini license when running hscript(1). Normally, hscript(1) is run using a non-graphical license (-R option). A graphical license may be required if the site has not obtained any non-graphical licenses.

                     throws PipelineException

Construct a SubProcessHeavy instance which when executed will fulfill the given action agenda.

Overrides:

prep in class BaseAction

Parameters:

agenda - The agenda to be accomplished by the action.

outFile - The file to which all STDOUT output is redirected.

errFile - The file to which all STDERR output is redirected.

Returns:

The SubProcess which will fulfill the agenda.

Throws:
