in case files get overwritten, how can I integrate an "auto-YES, please overwrite that file" into the script?

    sysFile -del $renderedFilename;

Code:

# Error: AttributeError: ImageFormats instance has no attribute 'oldOutf' #
if I replace

Code:

`getAttr defaultRenderGlobals.imageFormat`

with

Code:

"PNG"

result:

Code:

// Error: // // Error: Syntax error //

The AttributeError is not a problem. It still renders.

Replace `getAttr defaultRenderGlobals.imageFormat` with 32 (the file extension enumeration index).

Eg.

Code:

renderWindowSaveImageCallback ($renderPanel, ($folder + "/" + $outputFolder + $layer), 32);

#3
Code:

connectAttr -force ($myDiffuseTexture + ".outColor") shader_gamma.value; connectAttr -force ($myNormalTexture + ".outAlpha") shader_bump2d.bumpValue;
if the corresponding textures are already applied,

Code:

// Warning: 'DT_2.outColor' is already connected to 'shader_gamma.value'. //

and the script stops there. I tried to make use of the catch() command, but maya always returns

Code:

// Error: Invalid use of Maya object "connectAttr". //

Not sure what the problem is there. Did you put:

Code:

catch(eval(connectAttr -force ($myDiffuseTexture + ".outColor") shader_gamma.value));
