Hello -

I'm trying to setup a switch that changes 2 pieces of geometry (1 with low poly, one with very high poly) at render time.

What is the expression that evaluates if H is rendering and can be used in the switch?

Thank you!

Unfortunately there isn't a function for this. You'll have to use either display/render flags or render with takes.

It's possible to write your own using the HDK, but that's not necessarily ideal.

you can as well use pre/post render scripts and set an variable
like

pre: setenv RENDER=1
post: setenv RENDER=0

then just use $RENDER variable in your switches

Wow - so simple and elegant.

Thank you Tamte
