3Delight renders can be launched using Maya’s Render command line with the '-r 3delight' option. If no additional parameters are provided on the command line, rendering will occur using the The 3Delight ROP that is active in the render settings window when the scene was saved.

The options contained in the Render Settings can be overridden using the command line interface. The following command is useful to list the parameters specific to the 3Delight for Maya plug-in:

Render -r 3delight -help

...

titleExpand to view the command line parameters...

...

-rendersettings <string>

-rs ?

Specifies the name of the Render Settings to render with. Multiple Render Settings can be specified using a comma-separated list of names. Specifying all will sequentially render all Render Settings defined in the scene. Examples:

ex 1:
Render -r 3delight -rendersettings settings1

ex 2:  
Render -r 3delight -rendersettings settings1,settings2

...

Info
Because this option defines which render settings will be edited by subsequent flags, it should be specified immediately after the ‘-r 3delight’ option.

...

Export to the specified NSI file instead of rendering the images. The <string> parameter specifies the NSI filename to create.
