smidur Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi everyone, Please correct me if I am wrong as I am no too familiar with H9 yet, still working on 8.2 for most projects (shame on me I know) but slowly trying to move over. So in case I talk bullshit, please correct me.. So here is my problem: As far as I know the very useful RIB Auto-Archiving doesnt exist in H9 but I hope it wouldnt be too hard to implement. I am not sure where to start though. Would you approach it using Python or HDK? I would be very grateful for any hints where to start and would obviously share anything I can come up with if its any good. Thanks, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Martin I'd probably write a little python expression to run an archive ROP for selected geometry, then stick this expression in the pre-frame script of your output driver.

smidur Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'd probably write a little python expression to run an archive ROP for selected geometry, then stick this expression in the pre-frame script of your output driver. thanks for your comment, thats sort of what I was thinking of is there a way to run an archive rop from a python script without actually dropping down an archive rop for every single object. to put it very naive: have a script that checks every object in a scene for a flag (render archive for this geo, maybe as a default obj parameter) and do archiving for it without manually creating all the archive rops? meaning, can I call archive(bla, bla, bla); from a python script? sorry if that sounds a bit stupid...
