CopyPartition

Description

Copies partitions to passes.

A PARTITION is a division of a pass and behaves like a group. Partitions are used to organize scene elements within a pass. There are only two types of partitions, object and light.

A render PASS creates a picture layer of a scene that can be composited with any other passes to create a complete image.

NewScene , false

' Create a cone and make a layer with it 
Set oCone = GetPrim( "Cone", "MeshSurface" )
CreateLayer , "Wizard_Hat", , oHat

' Create a pass based on the new layer
CreatePassFromLayers "Wizard", oPass

' Add a new cone to the pass
Set oCone = GetPrim( "Cone", "MeshSurface" )
SICreatePartition oPass, "Yummy", oCone, oConePart

' Add a new cube to the partition 
Set oCube = GetPrim( "Cube", "MeshSurface" )
SICreatePartition oPass, "Icky", oCube, oCubePart

' Now create two new passes
CreatePass , "Uno", oPassUno
CreatePass , "Dos", oPassDos

' Copy the partitions from the first pass over to the new passes
