rendering backward

[squardis]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to render backward?

$RFEND to $RFSTART increment = (minus)1?

but when I click render nothing seems to happen

What if you load an obj you want to render backwards[example - sphere is animated from frame 1 to 24, use timewarp sop(one of the options to load backwards), input range set to 1 to 24 and output range set to 24 to 1] and render it with regular settings ?

Window menu/ Hscript Textport

 

/out -> render mantra1 -f 10 1

hope it works on this project  thnx marty

 

cd /out ENTER

render MantraNodeName -f LASTFRAME STARTFRAME

Nope It still keeps rendering forward. no matter what you set.
How hard can it be

In maya it is just the increment -1

Anyone?

use " time warp", eg: the frame range of ur current scene is "1 ~ 120"   , so the input range is 1 , 120. coz u want to render backward, so reverse the frame range, so the output range is "120, 1".

when u play it in the viewpot , it should play backward. and make sure that the frame range of ur render setting is still from " $RFSTART" to "$RFEND".

Use a script outside of Houdini. You can render whatever you want in whatever order you want by calling individual frames from the command line.
