Per-RIB Fragment attributes

Use

When this attribute is off, the fragment is completely ignored and the objects in its "Object Set" will be output as usual. This attribute is on by default. Note that it is possible to change all fragments’ "Use" attribute at once using the contextual popup menu’s ‘Use All’ and ‘Use None’ menu options.

Write

Controls if the fragment file can be written. The condition in which a fragment file is written is determined by the Write Mode in the RIB Fragment's common attributes.. This attribute is on by default. Note that it is possible to change all fragments’ Write attribute at once using the contextual popup menu’s ‘Write All’ and ‘Write None’ menu options.

Remove RIB Fragment

This button appears as a small trashcan. Clicking on this button removes the fragment from the render pass.

Filename

The path of the file that will contain this fragment’s objects geometric data. If the path is relative, it is assumed to be relative to the 3Delight RIB Fragments project path (see File Output 3Delight Data Locations). When these objects are animated, it is recommended to add the frame number to the filename; see File Path Expressions for details.

Browse for RIB File button

This button, drawn as a folder, brings up a file browser to specify a RIB filename.

View RIB button

This button, drawn as a magnifying glass, will open the fragment’s RIB file in a viewing application. See The 3Delight Preferences for details on how to specify which application should be launched.

Object Set

This attribute specifies which objects are contained in the fragment’s file. If an object is set to be in several fragments, only the fragment closest to the top of the fragment list will actually contain the object. The default value is ‘<all visible objects>’, which means the fragment will contain all visible objects that are not already in a fragment above this one.
