Render passes again

[gabriel-mdini]

Hi there...
does anyone know if it is possible to define the order of how passes are rendered?I mean,normally it renders like this:
pass1-frame1,pass2-frame1 and so on,but i want to render first the hole first pass then the second because its much faster that way...

Hi
If u render within XSI do the following..
from the drop list under passes select the pass u want to render and then choose RENDER>CURRENT PASS.
I hope this is what u want ...i don't know if u can render all passes the way u want by using RENDER>ALL PASSES..

no script necessary - this is the default behavior with XSI v2.0 which should be on your doorstep very soon.

But if you must script, just access the passes list with GetCurrentPass() and render it, then follow by setting the current pass to the next in the list and so on using SetValue().
