Shared an small .bat file

[povmaniac]

I want shared an small .bat file for use with .xml YafaRay files.
Is useful for 'drap and drop' files or command line mode.
I also used http://www.xnview.com for view images.

Code:

rem [][][] YAFARAY XML RENDERER BAT FILE [][][]
echo off
rem Example .bat for 'drap and drop' YafaRay .XML files and
rem command line mode. Change params for you own YafaRay configuration
rem
set HOME=C:\YafarayMaster
rem
@if not exist %HOME%\yafaray-xml.exe goto ERROR

rem Set binary file
set BIN=yafaray-xml.exe

rem Set path to plugins
set PLUGINS=%HOME%\plugins

rem Set image format in command line.
rem This option override 'out file' parameter inside .XML scene
rem Types allowed; tga, png, jpg, tif, hdr or exr
rem For use the commandline parameter.. Example: 'this_file.bat' file.xml 'image extension'
rem
set IMAGE=%2

rem If use 'drap and drop' option.. default file format is 'tga'
@if "%IMAGE%"=="" set IMAGE=tga

rem Set verbosity level for YafaRay console messages
set VL= 1
rem set custom message
set CS= "Rendered with YafaRay bat file"

rem  GO!! to render...
%HOME%\%BIN% -vl %VL% -pp "%PLUGINS%" -f %IMAGE% -dp -cs %CS% -op "%HOME%" %1

rem I use a free XnView (http://www.xnview.com/) for view render image
rem This soft no support 'exr' files.. atm.
if "%IMAGE%"=="exr" goto EXR

set VIEWER=h:\XnView\XnView.exe
rem go to view..
%VIEWER% "%HOME%\yafray.%IMAGE%"
goto EXIT

:ERROR
echo !! Not yafaray-xml.exe in your path !!
pause

:EXR
echo !! Xnview not support .exr files. Use other viewer. !!
pause

rem
:EXIT

povmaniac,
Do you have a second computer that you use for rendering? This will come in handy if I ever get a second PC.

I use OpenEXR (exrdisplay.exe) for EXR files... OpenEXR Site

and I use HDRView (hdrview.exe) for HDR files... HDRView Site

To use external viewers for renders directly from Wings3D go Edit > Preferences > User Interface > Enable "View render with external viewer". Then Browse to the external viewer for the various image file formats.

Thanks,
oort

Alone use this .bat to process rapidly files .xml. In some cases, I have lost the original scenes (.blend) and cannot generate them again. With the simple one ' drap and drop ' I can already throw the render.
