[Closed] grab viewport with safe frames?

Hi Ravindra

I think , you can’t to do it directly.

1. get a bitmap with gw.getViewportDib()
2. use a function to crop it

this should be works

  
  	
  
  (	
  	
  	fn CropImage OriginalImage TopLeft BottomRight =
  	(
  		btmCropped  = (dotNetObject "Drawing.Bitmap" (BottomRight.x - TopLeft.x) (BottomRight.y - TopLeft.y)) --Create new bitmap object
  		grpOriginal = (dotNetClass "Drawing.Graphics").fromImage btmCropped --Create new Graphics object
  		
  		newRect = dotnetObject "Drawing.rectangle" 0  0  btmCropped.Width  btmCropped.Height
  		graphicsUnit = dotNetClass "Drawing.GraphicsUnit"
  		grpOriginal.DrawImage OriginalImage newRect TopLeft.X TopLeft.Y btmCropped.Width btmCropped.Height graphicsUnit.Pixel
  		
  		Return btmCropped
  	)
  	--there is 4 types which you can use : Live_Area / Action Safe / Title Safe / User Safe
  	fn getSafeFrameSize type:#Live_Area =
  	(
  		local offset = case type of --Safe Frames Default Settings!!! 
  		(
  			#Live_Area: 0
  			--#Action_Safe: 10*2 --need more calculation here
  			--#Title_Safe: 20*2 --need more calculation here
  			--#User_Safe: 30*2 --need more calculation here
  		)
  		
  		local image_aspect_ratio = getRendImageAspect()
  		local view_size = getViewSize()
  
  		local frame_a = [view_size.x, view_size.x / image_aspect_ratio]
  		local frame_b = [view_size.y * image_aspect_ratio, view_size.y]
  		
  		if frame_a.x <= view_size.x and frame_a.y <= view_size.y 
  		then return frame_a - offset
  		else return frame_b - offset
  	)
  	
  	local img = gw.getViewportDib() 	
  	local file_name = GetDir #image + "\\grab_002.jpg"  --- here put a filename where will be you image saved
  	img.filename = file_name
  	save img
  	close img
  	
  	local img_class  = dotNetClass "System.Drawing.Image" --create an Image dotNetClass
  	local img		= img_class.FromFile file_name --get the saved image from file as bitmap
  
  	local frame_area = getSafeFrameSize type:#Live_Area
  	local TopLeft	= (getViewSize()) - frame_area
  	local BottomRight= frame_area
  	if frame_area.x == (getViewSize()).x then
  	(
  		TopLeft.y /= 2 
  		BottomRight.y += TopLeft.y+1
  	)
  	else
  	(
  		TopLeft.x /= 2 
  		BottomRight.x += TopLeft.x+1
  	)
  	
  	--format "Vsize::%	Area:%	TopLeft:%	BottomRight:%
" (getViewSize()) frame_area TopLeft BottomRight
  
  	local croped_img = CropImage img TopLeft BottomRight 
  	img.Dispose() --release the bitmap
  	local file_format = (dotNetClass "Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat").jpeg 
  	croped_img.Save file_name file_format --save croped image
  	croped_img.Dispose() --release the bitmap
  
  )
  

Many thaks Rene for your function, it woks fine.

I will be releasing my MAYA RENDER FRAME BUFFER IN 3ds MAX version for 2010 soon,

here is my version:

fn getViewportSafeframeDib show:on =
(
 local x = y = 0, v
 local s = getViewSize()
 local k = getRendImageAspect()
 
 if k < (s.x/s.y) then
 (
  v = [s.y*k,s.y]
  x = (s.x-v.x)/2 + 1
 )
 else
 (
  v = [s.x, s.x/k]
  y = (s.y-v.y)/2 + 1
 )
 bmp = bitmap v.x v.y
 pasteBitmap (gw.getViewportDib()) bmp (box2 x y v.x v.y) [0,0]
 if show do display bmp
 bmp
)
getViewportSafeframeDib()

wow! Denis. Cool optimalization

Denis this is great!!! Thanks
