Renderoutput
Output to separate files without going through the compositor
Not everyone wants to use multilayer-exr and the workaround with fileout in the compositor works, but is not practical when you want to render stuff on a farm. How it could be:
- The output section in the render options just defines the output folder
- Filename and type will be set per renderlayer with possibility for tokens like [Scene]/[RenderLayer]_v001.[Pass].####.exr this will be combined with the outputfolder from the rendersettings to build the whole path
Commandline option to render just a certain layer
Send a file to the renderfarm to render a certain layer (or more) without to have to open the scene and mark that layer for rendering. (e.g. --layers "beauty;Particles;FG")
