Rendering with the API

[Anonymous]

I'm a beginner in Fusion360 and will like to know how to render object with the python API. In the below script I'm rotation the body of the root component and rendering all possible positions. This is part of the requirement the other part will be to Zoom(in/out) the objects. I'm currently exporting the object as an .STL file but will like to render the images as a JPEG. Will this be possible using the python API? Below is my code. Any help will be appreciated. 

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback
import random 


def multipleRotations(iterAll=True, size=None):
    ui = None
    
    def get_cube_root(num):
        return num ** (1. / 3)
        
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui = app.userInterface
        
        product = app.activeProduct
        design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(product)
        rootComp = design.rootComponent
        folder = 'C:/Users/595241/Desktop/CAD/Airplanes/Airplanes_Renderings/'        
        exportMgr = adsk.fusion.ExportManager.cast(design.exportManager)
        body = rootComp.bRepBodies.item(0)#adsk.fusion.BRepBody.cast(ui.selectEntity('Select a body', 'Bodies').entity)
        
        if body:
            if iterAll:
                X = list(range(-360, 361))
                Y = list(range(-360, 361))
                Z = list(range(-360, 361))
            else:
                if size != None:
                    X = random.sample(range(-360, 360), int(get_cube_root(size)))
                    Y = random.sample(range(-360, 360), int(get_cube_root(size)))
                    Z = random.sample(range(-360, 360), int(get_cube_root(size)))
                    
            for x in X:

                        trans.transformBy(rotX)

Hello,

You can probably refer to the following sample for how to save current view as image.

http://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-33127518-f20a-11e5-bab1-a0a8cd5c2c67

In addition, you should be able to zoom/rotate bodies by changing camera.

Thanks,
