Does anyone think they can create this ruby?
-
I am looking for a ruby that allows you to have longer scene transitions than the SU max of 100seconds. This is in order to use V-ray network rendering and would really help a lot of people out that want to use v-ray for animations. It would be nice to have an unlimited amount of time to set for the transitions between tabs, but anything more than 100 would be better than nothing, because 100seconds between tabs only gives you about 3-4 seconds of animation, unless you want to use jerky SU camera movements between scene tabs, but I am trying to eliminate having to use them by having longer animations for just one tab to the next. If anyone thinks this is possible, please let me know...not that I will be able to create it because I know nothing about this sort of thing...so if anyone could even make it, that would be great too. The SU, especially v-ray community would be grateful. Thanks for any responses and help.

Rick has done a bit of work with scenes and transitions and giving finer control to transitions. I'm not sure if something he has already written might help.
But I'm a bit unclear as to how the v-ray thing works. It exports 1 second of SU animation as a single frame? That seems unlikely, but I've never used it before.

Just testing the Ruby API and it allows you to set the transition time to values over 100 seconds.
Sketchup.active_model.pages.selected_page.transition_time = 300So you might try to paste this in the Ruby Console:
Sketchup.active_model.pages.each{|page| page.transition_time = 300}And change 300 to the number of seconds you need.
