I can still love you too, Beppe... Now I know you can write Lua scripts, so I might need you in the near future...

I think it's allowed for 2 dudes to get married but 3 seems a bit over the top

@rikk: sorry but i'll never be able to write lua scripts, i'm only quite able to modify them to my needs... sometimes
and i'm not free

Just for the records, I'm straight and married...

But you're willing to leave your wife for the first guy that offers you a lua script, jeez ...

Roeland, I have a question about the script you posted before:

Code: Select all

-- Time span to animate:
totaltime = 2

-- Get the selected float texture node
local tex = octane.project.getSelection()[1]
assert(tex:getProperties().type == octane.NT_TEX_FLOAT, "float texture node expected")

-- hook up the animator for going from 0 to 1
tex:setAnimator(octane.A_VALUE, { 0 }, { 0, 1 }, totaltime)
octane.changemanager.update()

It works great, but it also forces the timeline to start from 0.
I'm exporting brief chunks of a long sequence, and my alembic animation starts from different timings, for example:
start 15.235 end 17.5
When I execute your script, the timeline becomes:
start 0 end 17.5 (after I type "totaltime = 17.5" line in the script)

How can I specify the correct starting time?

[roeland]

The arguments to setAnimator are, in order: time stamp list, value list, and the period to repeat the pattern. We can put the start and end time in the list of time stamps, and set the period to some larger number.

Code: Select all

-- Get the selected float texture node
local tex = octane.project.getSelection()[1]
assert(tex:getProperties().type == octane.NT_TEX_FLOAT, "float texture node expected")

-- hook up an animator
tex:setAnimator(octane.A_VALUE, { 1, 2 }, { 0, 1 }, 10)
octane.changemanager.update()
