hi, im VERY new to scripting and i may be asking really dumb questions, but here it goes.
what im trying to do is:
create a camera01
move/rotate
set render width/height
set the camera01 as the viewport
hide the object CLIPPING_01
hide bone objects
make preview at 100% and set a name for the preview file as the scene name
what ive got:
macroScript Macro6
category:“DragAndDrop”
toolTip:“CamSetup”
(
Freecamera fov:45 targetDistance:160 nearclip:1 farclip:1000 nearrange:0 farrange:1000 mpassEnabled:off mpassRenderPerPass:off
move $Camera01 [0,-245,131.2]
renderWidth = 480
renderHeight = 640
rotate $Camera01 (angleaxis 90 [1,0,0])
max vpt camera
select $CLIPPING_01
max hide selection
)
thats all ive got so far, but setting the vpt camera and hiding the object doesnt seem to work when i run the script. can anyone tell me why?
and is there a command to get the scene name?
thanks.
Try this:
macroScript Macro6
category:"DragAndDrop"
toolTip:"CamSetup"
(
local cam = Freecamera fov:45 targetDistance:160 nearclip:1 farclip:1000 nearrange:0 farrange:1000 mpassEnabled:off mpassRenderPerPass:off
move cam [0,-245,131.2]
renderWidth = 480
renderHeight = 640
rotate cam (angleaxis 90 [1,0,0])
viewport.activeViewport = 1
viewport.setCamera cam
hide $CLIPPING_01
)
ooh thanks that works!
would you know how to hide bone objects in the scene?
unhide $object_name
sorry, i meant how do you hide bone objects in one command rather than go through an entire skeleton hiding bones individually. i thought this would be possible as there is a box in the preview dialog where you can turn bones off.
hidebycategory.bones = true
woohoooo! thanks!
