vrayGetRTBitmap()

[Schellicon]

hi there,
i just wrote a little script to save out my VrayRT Render over time..
but while running the script i got only the 1st frame till the script is finished
Someone knows what im doing wrong?

here my script:

d=(vrayGetRTBitmap())
if d != undefined do
(
for i= animationrange.start to animationrange.end do
(
slidertime= i
completeredraw()
sleep 0.5
d=vrayGetRTBitmap()
d.filename="d:\\test\\test_"+ (i as integer /190) as string + ".tga"
-- print d.filename
save d
close d

)
)

I've been using this script and it seems to work fine:

rollout test "RT Animation" (
timer clock "rtClock" interval:5000 --tick once every 5 seconds

local cframe=animationRange.start

label Frame "---"

on clock tick do (
b=vrayGetRTBitmap()
b.filename="c:/temp/test" + (formattedPrint ((cframe as integer)/160) format:"04i") + ".png"
save b
cframe = cframe+1f
Frame.text = cframe as string

if (cframe>animationRange.end) then DestroyDialog test

sliderTime=cframe
)
)

fn rtAnimation=(
sliderTime=animationRange.start
createDialog test
)

Best regards,
Vlado

Hi there,
I have put you script as a .ms file in max and run it but could find the script in max.
Does this script work with max2008 ?
And am I oblige to use VrayRT SP1 to use this feature ?

Thanks

Yes; the function is missing in older builds.

Hi vlado,
Thanks for you quick responce!

I managed to make the script work but had to change the last lines.

Changed :
fn rtAnimation=(
sliderTime=animationRange.start
createDialog test
)

and leaved only :
createDialog test

Don't know why you script don't work.
But with 3dsmax 2008, max crash often using the script.
Don't know if it due to my os or the RT DR? I'm on windows 7 64Bit and max 2008 64.
Is it possible that it will less crash in max2010?

Thanks

Stan

We recommend using 3ds Max 2009 or higher for V-Ray RT; with previous versions we have to do some hacks, which may not be very reliable...
