Camera Path Animation

[MB]

The need to be created in the modelling application, you will probabaly have to write a script for that too.
there is one posted on this thread for Rhino.

Is there one for Blender by chance?
As of right now, I am trying to get my camera path out of Blender into the stand alone but the Alembic export/import somehow messes it up.

I have create a plugin for rhino that uses curves and point int camera frames
it is posted above

Would it be possible for u to fix the path output to ffmpeg in your cool app to be able to handle file names and folder names with spaces in them, this would help a lot.

Thx

I 'll give a shot. I think its easy

[MB]

Did it turn out to be harder than you thought?

MB & gmillas,
Handling of space values for os.execute() is a bit tricky.
If you replace line 660 thru 671 in the latest script with the following, things should work.
Cheers

Code: Select all

function ffmpeg()
    if OUT_PATH == nil then 
        return 0
    end
    FORMAT=formatComboBox:getProperties().items[formatComboBox:getProperties().selectedIx]
    FPS=frameRateSlider:getProperties().value
    scriptDir = octane.file.getSpecialDirectories()["userScriptDirectory"]
    local octane_dir=[["]]..scriptDir.."\\ffmpeg.exe"..[["]]
    local ffmpeg_cmd = octane_dir .. " -i \"".. OUT_PATH .."\"".."%04d.png  -c:v libx264 -r ".. FPS .." -pix_fmt yuv420p ".."\"".. OUT_PATH .."." .. FORMAT.."\""
    local cmd = ffmpeg_cmd:gsub("\\",  "/")
    os.execute([["]]..cmd..[["]])
end
