Setting Pass .MI Archive Options

Location: The Render Manager > Output > Archive

The options on the Archive tab control where and how .mi files exported for the pass are stored.

• The Filename setting allows you to set the file name for exported .mi archives. The file name is appended to the scene output path to produce a fully resolved output path for archives.

• Checking the Export all frames to a single archive box does as advertised. If this option is deactivated, each frame is exported to a separate archive.

Note that you still need to define how the pass is saved in .mi format by setting the mi Archives mental ray render options. See Exporting to MI Archives.
