RS scripting: wich method are allowed?

[skysurfer]

Hi all,
I saw there is possible to drive Vfr from Rhinoscript by using the Rhino.GetPluginObject options.
this is great but I need to know wich method/variables are exposed to make my own plugins.

I really need a LightManager, and I would like to release this for free, could you help me?

whoa - this would be amazing. is there any chance these variables can be made public? there are a lot of little things that would be enhanced by giving us this ability.

so it turns out that several of the methods are very simply named. for instance, turning on/off batch render in global switches is done with SetBatchRenderOn True (or False). I'll work on a list. I'm tempted to write something to discover them for me.

here's the low-hanging fruit:


Global Switches

Lighting
Lights: SetLightsOn boolean
Hidden Lights: SetHiddenLightsOn boolean
Default Lights: SetDefaultLightsOn boolean
Shadows: SetShadowsOn boolean

Misc
Batch Render SetBatchRenderOn boolean

Materials
Reflection/refraction: SetReflectionOn boolean
Maps SetMapsOn boolean
Filter maps for GI SetFilterMapsOn boolean
Glossy effects SetGlossyEffectsOn boolean

System

Distributed Rendering
On SetDistributedRenderingOn boolean
Hosts SetDistributedRenderingAddServer("hostname") string
Asset Collection SetDistributedRenderingAssetCollectionOn boolean



Camera
Camera Type
Type SetCameraType 0 = Default
1 = Spherical
2 = Cylindrical(point)
3 = Cylindrical(ortho)
4 = Box
5 = Fish Eye
6 = Warped Spherical


Depth of field
On SetDepthOfFieldOn boolean
Basic Params
Aperture SetDepthOfFieldAperture float



Indirect Illumination (GI)
On SetGIOn boolean


RTEngine
General Options
Enable SetRTEngineOn boolean

There's a discussion of this, and a suggestion for tools which list the available methods and parameters, in the Sticky item in this section of the forum titled "V-Ray for Rhino 1.5 -- is command line/automated rendering still possible?"; look particularly on pg. 2.

outstanding! that's what i get for not reading the whole sticky. great resource!
