Detailed Description

The render JavaScript global object. Render the scene or a part of the scene.

The scripting environment can receive notifications when the scene frame is ready.

function frameReady(frame, celImage)
{
  MessageLog.trace("Frame " + frame + " Ready.");
  // Save the image here.
  celImage.imageFile("c:/tmp/myimage" + frame + ".png");
}

function renderFinished()
{
  MessageBox.information("Render Finished");
}

render.renderFinished.connect(renderFinished);
render.frameReady.connect(frameReady);


render.setRenderDisplay("Top/Display");
render.renderSceneAll();

render.renderFinished.disconnect(renderFinished);
render.frameReady.disconnect(frameReady);

Member Function Documentation

void render::cancelRender ( )

slot

Interrupt an active render.

disconnect

void render::disconnect ( )

slot

disconnect all scripts from signals emitted by this object.

Parameters

frame	rendered frame number
frameCel	rendered frame cel

renderFinished

void render::renderFinished ( )

signal

Event that notifies the script when the render has completed.

renderScene

void render::renderScene ( int  fromFrame, int  toFrame  )

slot

Render a part of the scene.

After a frame is rendered, a frameReady signal will be emitted. Connect to it to save the rendered frame.

Parameters

bgColor

background color
