Hello

I have 2 rendering passes for my animation: an Odd Field pass and an Even Field pass. (I'm going to video tape) Is there a way to command Mantra to make one of the passes re-name the frames only as odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, etc) while the other re-names only as even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, etc)

I can't skip frames when rendering each pass, but I need to re-number the frames from the passes so that assembling the frames for the final movie would be a lot easier. Thanks!

You have to use the back quotes and not the forward single quotes.

For odd frames:
start: 1, end: whatever, inc: 2

For even frames:
start:2, end: whatever, inc: 2
