how to get number of frames from vrscene file?

[blatan]

Hi all,
Is it possible to get number of all frames from vrscene file. I don't need to use the SDK, I can do it from bash, php or any other language.

I need to write a controller which manages rendering with vray standalone and renders frames in some ranges, e.g. for 240 frames: 1-100, 101-200, 201-240.
I want to know when to end rendering or how to divide all frames number.

Maybe you can give me another solution how to do it?

Regards,
Bernard

Use the Python V-Ray Scene Access. In a plugin (render setting or something like this), you will get an attribute where you will have number of frames.

Hi bigbossfr.
I try to find how to do it, but I can't figure it out.
I've never written plugins for VRay. Could you tell me more details, please?

In the .vrscene, the number of frames is usually specified as the "anim_start" i "anim_end" in the SettingsOutput plugin.
