Render Cameras Script

[christopher.haack6BYP5]

Hello,

i would like to automatically render some Camera Views in a selected variant group.

Maybe someone has an idea for a script?

Hi Christopher,

basicly like this:

Lets say, the variantset is called "views":
#get the viewpoints
viewpoints = getVariantViewPoints("views")
#how many we need to render, loop
maxsteps = len(viewpoints) -1

#the loop
i = 0
while i <= maxsteps:
  #activate the viewpoint
  jumpViewPoint(viewpoints[i])
  #set the filename, use viewpoints[i] to have the viewpointname inside
  file = outputpath + viewpoints[i] + ".png"
  #start render
  createSnapshot(file,1920,1080,true)
  i = i+1

Some notes:

- pay attention to not have animated viewpoints, depending on the vred version, the render will start before the animation is ready

- the while loop is not breakable, once the render starts you need to wait, or cancel every single viewpoint

Ciao

Hi Andreas,

somehow i didn´t get it to work.

I don´t get any errormsg, but i also don´t get any renderings.

Hi,

do you set the outputpath correct?

Somethink like this.

outputpath = "d:/render/"

Depending on the OS, it is better to set it like this

import os.path
outputpath = os.path.join("d:/","render/")
