Need good Ruby scripter

Chris Fullmer

I PM'ed you about it. I'm interested. If it is just changing material colors and exporting .png's, it shouldn't be too much of a "process" hopefully

Hello Chris,
I send you a couple of PM but no answers..

People, I still need somebody !

Thanks

Have you tried SceneExporterPro for exporting your image files?

Hi, It is more complex than that

Thanks for your try..

@All : When I send a PM, it stays in the OUTBOX for hours.. is that a normal behavior ?

@TIG : PM send ... but in Outbox.. should be yours soon...

Yes, it stays in the outbox until the person reads the message.

Is there a difference between a .png and a Hi Res .png?

totom

Thanks Jim. I understand...

About the PNG and HI RES, No there isn't.
The Hi Res is bigger than the screen resolution like 8000x4000 px for instance

Can your scene be exported in that resolution with the SU exporter?

Don't think you can make an alternative with ruby. The PNG is non-trivial, it'd require knowledge of the PNG format. But the ultimate show stopper would be that you can not read the 2D scene view with the ruby API.

You can do all image exports using view.write_image

It should let you do a high-res .png just fine.

That do the same thing the File->Export 2D does. 4000x8000 is pushing it, depending on the model. If SU's export fail then .write_image will fail as well.

Agreed, some models won't survive that resolution.

Though, for these border cases, I have found that restarting SU help. Probably frees up a little extra memory. And some times I have more luck by exporting to BMP. I assume BMP works better because it's uncompressed so less processing is required.
