External Rendering Toolbar
The External Rendering Toolbar contains three actions to allow you to communicate between your source 3D scene and Harmony in real time.
Render Nodes Properties
The Render Nodes action will render your 3D scene through an external 3D software. All the renders made will appear in the cache of the elements folder of your scene.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Selected Nodes for Rendering | Listbox that lists the 3D Model element nodes to be rendered. |
Start Frame | Defines the first frame for rendering. |
End Frame | Defines the last frame for rendering. |
Bake Nodes Properties
The Bake Nodes action will allow you to render out a 3D sequence through Autodesk Maya or Blender and save it as an EXR file in Harmony.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Select Nodes for Baking Frames Externally | Listbox that lists all the 3D Model Element Nodes to be rendered and converted into an element module with a sequence of EXR files. |
Start Frame | Defines the first frame for rendering. |
End Frame | Defines the last frame for rendering. |
Bake to External Projects Properties
The Bake to External Project action allows you to create a new project file in the external 3D software containing all the animation and transformations on the 3D model from Harmony.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Node to Render to External Project | Name of the 3D Model Element Nodes to be rendered out to a 3D software. |
Start Frame | Define the first frame for rendering. |
End Frame | Define the last frame for rendering. |
Project Destination |
Define the path to output the rendered 3D file. IMPORTANT Make sure that you are entering the correct extension for the intended software to open.
