I'm trying to get the "Texture render job" scripted graph to work. I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly, but basically I want to use the render result of the connected renderTarget as a texture for a material nodes diffuse color.
My onEvaluate function looks as follows:
- Code: Select all
function PTextureRenderJobScript.onEvaluate(self, graph)
local inputNodes = self:getInputNodes()
local renderTarget
for _, inputNode in ipairs( inputNodes ) do
if( inputNode.nodeType == octane.NT_IN_RENDERTARGET ) then
renderTarget = self:getInputValue( inputNode )
break
end
end
PROPS_RENDER_RESULT = octane.render.start( { renderTargetNode = renderTarget } )
local outputNodes = self:getOutputNodes()
for _, outputNode in ipairs( outputNodes ) do
if( outputNode.nodeType == octane.NT_OUT_TEXTURE ) then
--< CONNECT IMAGE TO OUTPUT NODE >
end
end
end
The PROPS_RENDER_RESULT.image returns the image object, but I cannot figure out how to set that to the output pin.
There is no node connected to the output pin, I checked via "outputNode:getConnectedNodeIx(1)", it returns nil.
So I thought of creating a NT_TEX_IMAGE node to connect to it, but then I could not find a way to set the image to it.
The A_BUFFER attribute would seem the most likely candidate, but it only accepts data of type AT_BYTE array.
The octane.image.getRawPixels(image) returns a PROPS_C_ARRAY, but this is not accepted as valid data for the A_BUFFER attribute.
Can this be done, or do I have to save the PROPS_RENDER_RESULT.image to disk and then load it via the A_FILENAME attribute. Seems dirty.
Please help!
