Just wondering how to add zeros to frame names. For example the output in mantra for the frame name is currently “/$hip/$FF.tif” and the output is “1.tif” for frame 1 etc. if I have say a thousand frames being rendered how can I make the leading digits “0” ie. “0001.tif”?

Thanks for the help.

use $F4 for 4 pad. $F3 for 3 pad, etc…

$FF is actually the floating point version, which allows your to render frame 1.2. Use with caution.
