grab frame buffer from the viewport

[Anonymous]

Hi

I am trying to figure out how to extract the the frames or grab an image from the active viewport in Motion Builder. Till now I have not got anything in the OR SDK which lets me do that. I have looked inside the Camera class and the Scene class but am not getting any method which lets me grab the scene onto a texture or an image.
Any help regarding this or a suggested wor around will be really appreciated.

Hi,

you can get a frame snapshot using FBVideoGrabber class. Like this

grabber = FBVideoGrabber()
image = grabber.RenderSnapshot(-1,-1,True,True,True,True)
image.WriteToTif("c:\\img.tif", "sample", False)

For more information take a look at the Python Scripting Guide.
