Setting the format options of an OpenEXR [SOLVED]

Hi,

I'm trying to automate the setting of the render preferences, but I got stuck at the following.
I can't seem to find out how to put the openEXR format to "Lossy 16-Bit float, Zip, in blocks of 16 scan lines"

I found out that you can access the options menu using [c4d.RDATA_SAVEOPTIONS]. But after that i'm at a loss.

I hope someone can help me.

Cheers,

Bas

Hello and welcome,

the documentation does not contain the information on the proper IDs. To set the format settings you have to acess the RDATA_SAVEOPTIONS BaseContainer and add a new subcontainer with the details:

  
rd = doc.GetActiveRenderData()  
container = rd.GetData()  
  
# OpenEXR  
container[c4d.RDATA_FORMAT] = c4d.FILTER_EXR  
  
saveOptions = container.GetContainerInstance(c4d.RDATA_SAVEOPTIONS)  
  
# OpenEXR options  
bc = c4d.BaseContainer()  
bc[0] = 3 # ZIP  
bc[1] = True # clamp to half float  
  
# save OpenEXR options  
saveOptions.SetContainer(0,bc)  
  
# save render data  
rd.SetData(container)  
  
c4d.EventAdd()  

best wishes,
Sebastian

That is exactly the thing.
Just started learning python, and like you said, I couldn't find the format settings in the documentation.

Thanks a million!
