Pre-Render Python script

[wigal123]

Hello,

I am trying to render a geo with the following script:

hou.setFrame(int(hou.expandString('$RFEND')))

Valid Frame Range is set to Render Any Frame.

I can see Houdini set the time line to the last frame, but what it renders is the frame that was selected before hitting the render button.

Any ideas?

thanks

ps.

same thing happens when using hscript with:

fcur $RFEND

The rendering frame range is evaluated before the pre-render script runs. Just use the regular frame range parameters with $RFEND as their values.

thanks edward. That explains the problem.
