Script to save and then restore user render settings

Martirilla

What is the best way to have a script do the following:

1. Memorize the user's current render settings.

2. Do something cool, that involves the script first changing a dozen render settings. (I know how to do this bit)

3. Restore the user's saved render settings, exactly as they were before.

You could use ContentMgr to save and load a render settings preset - http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/file_io/save_duf_render_settings/start

Thanks for the link, that looks useful. Though if anyone knows of a way to do it without saving/loading a settings file on the user's PC, then please post.

Take a look at this sample script - Render To Asset Icon

Thanks, Ominiflux, that looks exactly the sort of script I was hoping to find. Who knew it would be lurking in a humble Asset Icon rendering script?
