Hey Paul,

Can you put a shutdown command in the plugin?
Also, we finally got a Render Queue script but it only renders one frame scene.
Done you know of anyone that can add or change that one thing in the script?
I've been literally waiting for the scriptwriter to do this since June 2017.
I tried to do it myself but fail each time (also not knowing anything about script writing didn't help much).

Thanks

Hi - I am not sure what you mean by "shutdown". Shutdown what?

That script will only render the first frame of each scene. Rendering every frame of each scene would be much harder to implement. My suggestion would be to export the scene animation to ORBX and then use the Octane Standalone render queue to render each ORBX.

Sorry, I meant a Shutdown Computer option.

Well, the script is really just octane commands. And it does have an option to import Octane settings.
When exporting octane setting, does the file also have the frames you set in the animation Tab saved?

Sorry, I meant a Shutdown Computer option.

Shutting down your PC from within a Poser python script should be possible by calling a Windows DLL function, but it's not something that's related to the Octane plugin, so not something I would provide in the plugin commands. You would need to write this yourself.

I don't understand your question, sorry. I was suggesting you export the animation via the Animation tab->Export Animation button, not to export the Octane settings.

Hi,

I have tried to implement the render queue for animation but I got stucked because a message pops up when the animation render has finished. This prevents the next file in the queue to load and render. It is difficult to catch and kill this message window without modifying the plugin itself. Normaly, the class wx.ModalDialogHook can do that from outside of the plugin but it is not implemented in the wxpython version provided by poser.

So, if anybody has idea...

I could create a hidden setting which your script could set which would suppress the dialog. I will add this to the next release for you to test.

Great to hear. Do you have a date for the next release?

Do you have a date for the next release?

The next release will be after the next Octane release, so no, I don't have a date, sorry.

Thanks Paul. Looking forward.

Just realized that I have posted my render queue script in the wrong thread.

So here is the new version. It is now possible to queue animations.
