Glare at the Command Line

Hi everybody.

I would really like to specify aperture and obstacle maps at the command line.

Currently I am doing an animation that is going to have to do without glare, because I would have to save an mxi for each frame and then manualy apply the glare. Time prohibitive, and lets not mention how much space the mxi files would take up.

I am rendering on mxcl with a simple bat file, and since the glare would be the same for each frame, it would be as simple as:

mxcl -mxs:frame001.mxs -o:frame001.jpg -aperture:filename.jpg -obstacle:filename.jpg -t:60 -res:1280x720 etc, etc...

Having a switch to control the intensity amount would be necessary too. Something like -int:(value between 1-100)

This way the renderer would reach the desired render time or SL and then apply the glare.

Seems easy to me but maybe it's not.

Thanks,

D
