fathom Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 is that possible? i'm investigating setting up tile rendering on our farm and it seems kind of ludicrous that you'd need to generate a unique ifd for each tile you want to render. the tile render mantra options seem to convert to a single image:pixelcrop property inside your ifd. can that be changed on the commandline? there are some -I options listed by "mantra -h" which seem to refer to various "image:" options, but it seems they're a hard-coded list and not a mechanism to override general image options (which seems silly). i know i can do this with a pyfilter, but how do you pass a value to the pyfilter to assign to the attribute? the only thing i can figure is to query the filename and work backwards to calculate the values. am i missing something obvious?

symek Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Pyfilter get arguments the same as usual python... mantra -P "filter.py --parm value --param2 value --etc" -f file.ifd .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
