Wish: automatic save for EnscapeTakeScreenshotCommand ("poor mans Bongo animation rendering" :) )

Enscape Enscape Host Applications Enscape for Rhino

Hi,

here one more of my crazy ideas to get more from Enscape. :wink:

Could it be possible that this command create a more unique file name and allow to automatic save it? My idea is to get one of my first big Enscape wishes working - rendering of Rhino Bongo animations.

My dirty workaround would be to start a Bongo animation rendering based on the simple Rhino display screenshot output, but additional to use _BongoBonusToolForEachFrame and create an automatic Enscape screenshot. I would measure the needed time and add a longer render frame delay at the Bongo output options. So, each frame would be rendered by the Rhino screenshot and additional I get an Enscape screenshot.

This workflow isn’t perfect, but only a little bit code enhancement would allow to use Bongo rendering, a big step forward - free camera animation, free object movements. So, I cross my finger and hope to get this little code enhancement. :wink: Please see it as an interesting experiment.

Hi @Micha , thank you very much for your Feedback! I have filed your request for our developers, so they’re informed about the demand for this feature!

Hi Micha,

creating many screenshots is not the same as rendering a video. For the latter case Enscape adds some smoothing to specific features to reduce flickering in the video. So even if we implemented your request, it does not produce the output you expect from it.

OK, I understand.

Thanks,

Seven years later - could it be possible now? Is there any progress?
