Output

Data File

Write a data file in the format the active renderer understands (e. g. RIB, pyg etc.).

Renderer

Make Affogato send data directly to the renderer. This omits generation of data files on disk (e. g. RIBs) and is usually the fastest way to get an image. The render is launched immediately after the last primitive has been sent to the renderer.

Shadow mapping is not supported in this mode. This also disables all launch options under the Global group

Global

Launch

Off

Just generate data files.

Some people might call this RIBgen mode, if you are thinking RenderMan.

Renderer

Launch the render command with the generated data file as the argument for each frame

Interpreter

Generate data files, then launch the interpreter every Chunk Size frames.

Do Sub-Jobs

Whether to run sub-jobs like shadow-, environment-, brick- or photon maps etc.

Job Interpreter

The command run by Affogato to execute a Job Script.

Job Script

Type

Off

Do not write any job file.

XML

Write a job file in Liquid's XML format.

Job Engine

Write out job files in RSP's proprietary Job Engine format.

Chunk Size

The number of frames after which Affogato dumps a job file. This allows one to render data files and their dependencies before all frames have finished dumping.
