Introduced
6.0
Description
Exports a sequence of frames from the specified passes, or the current pass if none specified. The render archive can subsequently then be used by a standalone version of the rendering engine that exported it.
This command can optionally accept a start frame and an end frame to render to override the pass settings. If no start frame or end frame is provided the command uses the default settings from the pass (which can be either a sequence or a set of frames).
This command replaces the deprecated command ExportMI2File.
Scripting Syntax
