How to adjust output path in Python Batchrender class?

ilad

Hi , i am batch rendering images with different output path in Python , i want to adjust the output path when i add image render to render queue in Python

Is there any way to finish that ?i Google a lot and look through documents , but there is no explicit way to do that ..

I really need this function cause i need render thousand of images in C4D , and if no solution , i have to manually adjust the render queue output path , which would be a disaster to me , kill my great designer dream in baby.

Thanks if you have any ideas ! Love you .

I guess you could

load the file you want to render with LoadDocument()
change the c4d.RDATA_PATH in the document's render settings
save the file with SaveDocument()
and add that saved document to the render queue, so the render queue's "Output File" uses the document's render path

Hi sorry I overlook your answers,

There is no way to directly change the path in the RenderQueue to do so, you have to edit the document.
So before adding a document, you need to load them, then define the path in the render setting and then resave the file.
Here a quick example.

import c4d

# Load the document
docPath = r"PATHtoc4dFile.c4d"
doc = c4d.documents.LoadDocument(docPath, c4d.SCENEFILTER_OBJECTS | c4d.SCENEFILTER_MATERIALS, None)

# Retrieves the active render setting
renderData = doc.GetActiveRenderData()

# Set the new path for the picture
renderData[c4d.RDATA_PATH] = r"MyPicturePath.exr"

# Save the document
c4d.documents.SaveDocument(doc, docPath, c4d.SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_DONTADDTORECENTLIST, c4d.FORMAT_C4DEXPORT)
