Render settings and HDR image generation

Creating a class to manage render settings for HDR image creation in Blender involves encapsulating the functionality to get and set render parameters within class methods. This approach provides a clean and reusable way to manage render settings. Here's how you can define such a class, including initialization, get_render method to read current render settings, and set_render method to apply new settings:

import bpy

class RenderSettingsManager:
    def __init__(self):
        """Initialize the RenderSettingsManager by reading current render settings."""
       

    def get_render(self):
        """Reads the current render settings from the scene and stores them in instance variables."""
        scene = bpy.context.scene
        
    def set_render(self, engine='CYCLES', resolution_x=2048, resolution_y=1024, resolution_percentage=400,
                   use_denoising=True, file_format='HDR'):
        """Sets the render settings for the scene based on the provided parameters."""
        
# Example usage:
# Initialize the manager and read current settings
render_manager = RenderSettingsManager()

# Modify and set new render settings
render_manager.set_render(resolution_x=2048, resolution_y=1024, resolution_percentage=400, use_denoising=True, file_format='HDR')

print(f"Render engine set to: {render_manager.engine}")
print(f"Resolution set to: {render_manager.resolution_x}x{render_manager.resolution_y} at {render_manager.resolution_percentage}%")

Key Components:

• __init__ Method: Initializes the class instance by invoking get_render() to read the current render settings from the scene.
• get_render Method: Reads current render settings from the Blender scene and stores them as instance variables. This method can be expanded to include more render settings as needed.
• set_render Method: Accepts parameters for various render settings and applies them to the Blender scene. It also calls get_render() at the end to update the instance variables with the new settings.

This class provides a structured approach to managing render settings, making it easier to modify and apply settings programmatically for HDR image rendering or other purposes. You can extend the class by adding methods for specific render configurations or by incorporating additional render settings into the get_render and set_render methods.
