Re: scripting the viewport catpure

[Sam Cuttriss <cuttriss(at)whiskytree.com>]

thanks for the link.
ive got a custom preference im trying to get values from. (not capture settings, but its comparable)
its called "Wt_Preferences" and the parameter im after is called "VersionDelimiter"
but im going insane trying to get the value through the object model.
here is what im doing

oWTOptions = xsi.Dictionary.GetObject( "preferences.Wt_Preferences" )
oV = oWTOptions.NestedObjects.Item("VersionDelimiter").Value
log (oV)


this is the fun error i get.

# ERROR : Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "<Script Block >", line 29, in ?
#     oV = oWTOptions.NestedObjects.Item("VersionDelimiter").Value
# TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
#  - [line 29]


weird thing is i can iterate through the parameters and it returns:
# INFO : Scene options = VersionDelimiter : _V

just like it should.
any ideas?

ah, i was  just doing that.

vp = app.Dictionary.GetObject('ViewportCapture')

#set ViewportCapture settings
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.Filename", oOutPut, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.ImageWidth", oWidth, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.ImageHeight", oHeight, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.Padding", "(fn).#(ext)", "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.UserPixelRatio", 0, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.WriteAlpha", 1, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.CaptureAudio", 0, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.Start", oFrame, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.End", oFrame, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.LaunchFlipbook", 0, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.IsMovie", 0, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.CustomTimeRange", 0, "") 
#app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.Codec", 0, "") 
app.SetValue("ViewportCapture.LaunchFlipbook", 0, "")

how can I set the various parameters of the viewport capture with 
scripting ( like format, path and so on)?

Application.CaptureViewport( 2, True ) seems quite limited
