Hi,
I am trying to build a custom “Make Preview” tool. I found a script for it in the help, but i found out that the preview creation is slower than the built-in make preview. Do you know if there is a way to speed it up ?
Tested in a scene with just a sphere, frame range 0-100
With script: 8.589 seconds
With createpreview(): 1.521 seconds
preview_name = (getDir #preview)+"/quickpreview.avi"
view_size = getViewSize()
anim_bmp = bitmap view_size.x view_size.y filename:preview_name
for t = animationrange.start to animationrange.end do
(
sliderTime = t
dib = gw.getViewportDib()
copy dib anim_bmp
save anim_bmp
)
close anim_bmp
gc()
Thanks,
Nahuel
I am not sure, but maybe with the script max use a other viewport refinement. You know in the new max version we have a progressive viewport and I thing for that you can change the refinement steps. I don’t know what exactly name this have.
just create it with the createpreview() and then rename the file after creation ?
Thank you for your reply. I solved my problem by accesing the createpreview via uiaccessor.
Cheers,
Nahuel
