FlyWiz - Flythrough animation wizard free script

[Subburb]

Hello everybody,
i've made a new script wich helps to manage Flythrough animation stuff..

Some buttons are here to help for quality control before launching each step of this kind of rendering.

The script makes proposals for LightCache subdivs and "render nth frame" for irrmap. it also change the lightcache scale to world/screen depending of your choices.
the other vray values (lightcache sample size, irrmap quality, sampler quality) have to be set manually.
The script is mainly an automator avoid to make lot of clicks and changes for each different step.

FlyWiz can also automate the whole sequence if your settings are already ok. no need to stay front on your max to render lightcache, then irrmap, then final passes. it do all that for you, you can go to bed

This script is free, you can use it for personnal or professionnal work.
The only thing is a little advert for my other plugin SolidRocks inside the gui. Not a big deal

Tutorial/demo video is here : http://solidrocks.subburb.com/index....d=39&Itemid=40

That's something I've been working with lately. Good to see a more automated way of dealing with it. Can't wait to give it a whirl.

great script, thanks. I am trying it and all is well, but it is rendering out every tenth frame for the pre-cal. Your video doesn't address that.

Pre-Calc

Is anybody having this issue or am I doing something wrong?

[Subburb]

Hi !

well you're right i forget to mention that IrrMap is computed every N frame into the video. I'll add the info, thanks.

The irrmap is computed every N frames. If you choose "Walk" then it will be every 10 frames, and if you choose "run" it's every 5 frames". You can also override the value in the script using the spinner.

In resume :
- LC is computed 1 time for the entire animation
- IM is computed every N frames
- Final frames are all computed.

But should it me doing a final render of the IrrMAP?

[Subburb]

well i'm not sure to understand your question....

[glorybound]

Animation

When it is doing the Irrmap pre-calc, every n frames, it is creating a still for each "n" frames. Should it be doing this?

[Subburb]

yes, but they are useless. i was sure that they'll be deleted after the pass. i'll check that point.

They are generated only to avoid annyonning max warnings about render loss.. that's the only way i found to stop these warnings. (non-catchable via maxscript)

Gotcha, thanks.
