I love all the repathing options for render elements in the 3ds Max SMTD. I was wondering if there could be a button that would allow you to preview what these repathing options will make your final RE path look like. Something along the lines of how Adobe Bridge allows you to preview batch renames. Except instead of listing each frame it would list each RE. I’m thinking a modal window. Exporting to CSV is not requested.
I like this idea. I like this idea alot. The big problem, is the amount of refactoring of SMTD to actually make this a reality, as ideally, it would be like putting the SMTD job submission process into a “dryRun” mode, to return the ‘actual’ output paths that are going to be generated and then return them, possibly for each job that is going to be submitted (say in the case of 3dsmax tile job + tile assembly). I’ll log it as a feature request (but also mark is as requiring a considerable amount of coffee to achieve).
Thanks for the consideration.
