Ultimately, I would like to automate the VRayLightMeter to update and save data per frame. I'm trying to do this in a pre/postRenderFrame callback and send the job to backburner. But I'm running into some trouble. I first added a postRenderFrame callback but since the .calculate() function of the VRayLightMeter is in itself a rendering operation, this resulted in a nice endless loop. I've fixed that by removing
Knowing my hacky ways, there is probably a better way to do this.
Below are the error and the scripts:
[2013/Aug/30|22:16:23] error: UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: Rendering frame
Last marker is at ./src/vray.cpp, line 425: VRay::freeData(), clearing render settings.
This is the callback
(
callbacks.removeScripts #postRenderFrame id:#LightingAnalysis
callbacks.addScript #postRenderFrame filename
"//ourNetworkPath/UpdateVRayLightMeter.ms") id:#LightingAnalysis
)
This is the script which works when run on its own.
(
callbacks.removeScripts #postRenderFrame id:#LightingAnalysis
$VRayLightMeter001.calculate()
$VRayLightMeter001.saveCSV ("c:/Test.csv")
sleep 2
copyFile @"C:/test.csv" ("c:/test_" + (slidertime as string) + ".csv")
sleep 2
callbacks.addScript #postRenderFrame filename"//ourNetworkPath/UpdateVRayLightMeter.ms") id:#LightingAnalysis
)
