LaunchFlipbookForP ass

Introduced

4.2

Description

Launches the flipbook application using the parameters of the specified render pass or a framebuffer on a pass.

The pass, or the scene render options, if not overridden, should be set to use either a frame range or the timeline as a frame source. A frame set cannot be viewed in the flipbook. Warning: Before using this command, you must render the specified pass so that the image files are available on disk. The command fails otherwise.

Scripting Syntax

    LaunchFlipbookForPass( InputObj )

Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
InputObj | String | The render passes or framebuffer property set to use (for example, "Passes.Default_Pass")

Examples

JScript Example

    /*
       This example demonstrates how to use this command in the script by first
       generating the image files via a render pass (required for this command)
    */
    // Set up a new scene with a cube
    NewScene( null, false );
    var obj = CreatePrim( "Cube", "MeshSurface" );
    SetValue( obj + ".cube.length", 4 );

    // Add some animation
    SetMarking( ".kine.local.sclx,.kine.local.scly,.kine.local.sclz" );
    SaveKey( "", 1 );
    Scale( null, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, siAbsolute, siPivot );
    SaveKey( "", 2 );
    Scale( null, 0.25, 0.25, 0.25, siAbsolute, siPivot );
    SaveKey( "", 3 );

    // Set the Diffuse color to yellow (to see it)
    MakeLocal( obj + ".Scene_Material", siDefaultPropagation );
    SetValue( obj + ".Scene_Material.Phong.diffuse.blue", 0.239 );
    SetValue( obj + ".Scene_Material.Phong.diffuse.green", 0.897 );
    SetValue( obj + ".Scene_Material.Phong.diffuse.red", 0.91 );

    // Render the scene using the default pass (use only 3
    // frames to shorten the render time)
    var cpass = Dictionary.GetObject( "Passes.Default_Pass" );
    SetValue( cpass + ".FrameRangeSource", 0 );
    SetValue( cpass + ".FrameEnd", 3 );
    RenderPasses( cpass );

    // Open the flipbook
    LaunchFlipbookForPass( cpass );
