dynamic outputs

Hi everyone,

This is my addon dynamic_outputs.

It allows you to use variables in your output paths or filenames and the tool will rename them on rendertime with the corresponding value.

This will make naming your renderings easy, more structured and faster.

Features:

• use variables in output paths and filenames
• allows multiple variables for one value
• build your own date format
• dynamic output works also with camera markers

Attention!

• $viewlayer only works for one viewlayer at a time! Blender does not allow to change filenames inbetween rendering different viewlayers.

You can trigger the renaming your dynamic variables with those python commands:

import bpy

bpy.ops.render.replace_dynamic_output() #replaces all variables with their value

bpy.ops.render.revert_dynamic_output() #reverts the text to variables

Be careful, executing the revert function twice overwrites the contents and your variables might get lost!

I hope this saves you as much time as it does for me. :)
