Build->Build Reflection Captures from command-line

Development Rendering
1

Hi UE Community!

I’m working on automating our pipeline. Right now I’m battling with reflection captures. Using the button in the editor works fine but my command doesn’t seem to be working:

“C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.21\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor-Cmd.exe” “path o\project.uproject” -run=ResavePackages -buildReflectionCaptures -allowcommandletrendering -allmaps

Is this command equivalent to what the “Build Reflection Captures” menu option is doing?

Is this the best way to handle generating reflection captures? Is there something I’m missing?

I noticed that on a clean project folder (no BuiltData folders) the command above wouldn’t create those folders. I tried running the -bulidlighting command:

“C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.21\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor-Cmd.exe” “path o\project.uproject” -run=ResavePackages -buildLighting -quality=Preview -allowcommandletrendering -allmaps

This created the corresponding BuiltData folders but when I ran the buildReflectionCaptures command but it still didn’t work.

Thanks for any help and guidance you can provide!

For anyone else having this problem: it was the right idea but the wrong argument. It has to be all lowercase,"-buildreflectioncaptures", and you can find it in their source code if you have access at UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Editor/UnrealEd/Private/Commandlets
