Hello.
I want to render an animation using “region selected”.
This doesn’t work as expected because the region isn’t updated so it always renders the same region. I found that the region is taken in the current “timebar” frame wich is not updated.
I defined a callback that would just set the sliderbar to the frame being rendered.
It works fine but the frames are rendered on top o each other. Each frame as a trail of previously rendered frames.
So…my question is…how can I delete this last frame information??
Thanks
Have you set the filename of the render output to increment?
Hi Martin.
Well…I didn’t set it but that the way it’s suposed to work…the files have incremental number.
Thanks anyway
Can you post the code up? My brain is having a hard time figuring out what it’s doing.:sad:
Hello Martin.
I’m basicaly trying to render an animation with “region selected”.
I have to fix some details on an existing movie.
The first problem I encountered was that max didn’t update the region.
This was because it was based on the object’s current position in the viewport.
I solved this with a little “prerenderframe” callback that moved the “timeslider” to the new frame position.
Next problem is that each render is made on top of the last so,…at the end you have a trail of previously rendered frames. What I do is create an animated mask when compositing.
Another problem I can’t solve is how to send this job to backburner because I have to select the reference object when 3dstudio opens in the nodes.
I tried #filePreOpen, #preRender callbacks but no luck.
Here’s thescript I’m using:
function RegionRender = (
sliderTime = currentTime.frame
)
function SelectDummy = (
select $RegionRenderDummy
)
callbacks.addscript #preRenderFrame “RegionRender()” id:#RegionRender persistent:true callbacks.addscript #preRender “SelectDummy()” id:#SelectDummy persistent:true
Any ideas??
Thanks
