updated scripting methods

[fooprobe]

Ok, so I'm sure this is low on the priority list for the dev team. But it would be really amazing if the following script methods could be fixed so they work (they're already visible, they just don't seem to function):

SetIrradianceMapDetailEnhancementOn (radius and subdivs works, but not very useful if you can't turn it on and off)
SetIrradianceMapMode
SetIrradianceMapSaveFile
SetIrradianceMapFromFile

SetPhysicalCameraExposureOn
SetPhysicalCameraFNumber
SetPhysicalCameraISO
SetPhysicalCameraLensShift
SetPhysicalCameraOn
SetPhysicalCameraShutterSpeed
SetPhysicalCameraType
SetPhysicalCameraVignettingOn
SetPhysicalCameraWhiteBalance


And it would be great if methods could be made accessible for:
- getting the current settings for the Image sampler
- toggling Linear Workflow/Correct LDR Textures/Correct RGB Colors in color mapping
- setting the gamma correction/input gamma variables in color mapping
- toggling the "override viewport" option in the output flyout

Big job, i know. If any of these could be scripted it would really help though.

Thanks,

Emil

SetIrradianceMapDetailEnhancementOn (radius and subdivs works, but not very useful if you can't turn it on and off)

I was able to immediately see the mistake in the irradiance map enhancement "on" parameter. I fixed that.

The others, the physical camera and other irradiance map stuff, I do not see anything obviously incorrect with. I'll have to write some test scripts to see what I'm missing. Generally, these problems are because of typos in parameter names we try to manipulate, but I'm not seeing any typos in those functions.

- getting the current settings for the Image sampler
- toggling Linear Workflow/Correct LDR Textures/Correct RGB Colors in color mapping
- setting the gamma correction/input gamma variables in color mapping
- toggling the "override viewport" option in the output flyout

None of that should be difficult to accomplish, I'll add it to our list

I've attached my script test, I'm using silly values for some of them just to make them stand out more obviously. I was able to get them working on my end, so the next release should be good to go.

I'll continue working on the other requests you mentioned

[fooprobe]

Thank you! That's amazing! Ill try this as soon as i can. So helpful, thanks a lot!

[fooprobe]

I read it too fast this morning, guess i can't test it until the next release =) will it be on the nightly builds or just the next official release? thanks so much for working on this.

Joe already fixed this, and it is available on the nightlies build. Of course it will be in the next release too.

Hi Joe - I've been trying to write a script to export all materials (over in this thread:
http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbu...835#post579835

and I'm having trouble with GetSceneMaterialNames ... I believe it is returning an array of the material names but i'm unable to access any of the elements in the array. any assistance would be greatly appreciated... so for instance, the following works fine until the last line:

------------

Option Explicit


Dim VRay
Set VRay = Rhino.GetPluginObject("V-Ray for Rhino")

Dim MatNames
Dim Count

VRay.GetSceneMaterialNames MatNames

Count = Ubound(MatNames)
Rhino.Print Count


Rhino.Print MatNames(0)
------------

I'm an edu user so i can't access the nightlies, please let me know if this is already fixed or if it's something in my code.

thanks!!

Joe - just wanted to thank you for the fixes in the nightlies - i've got my scripts up and running and they're really helpful!

Still hoping for:
- the above issue with GetMaterialNames
- scripts to get the current settings for the Image sampler
- toggling Linear Workflow and setting the input gamma variable in color mapping
- toggling the "override viewport" option in the output flyout

Thanks so much!

Also very missed a way to temporary disable all interpolation options at the materials and to change the interpolation max rate (needed for small preview and large final render). I suppose so the temporary disabling isn't possible per scripting, only per global option, right?

[fooprobe]

it would also be really useful to be able to toggle the LC retrace threshold on/off, and set the value.

any word on the progress of this stuff, and/or next release?
