Free Script: Animated Limited Region

[Philbert]

Just checked the DPont one and it also does not use screamernet, but I believe it will do normal F10 renders. So that's an option:

(Hope I'm not stepping on your toes Matt, I still like yours better)

I never even knew about that one!

Just tried it with F10, crashed here.

Interesting, I thought I remembered using it with F10 a long time ago, but I may be remembering wrong.

Yes but randomly, not an excuse but
I don't think this is fixable, there's only
one event type working for updating but
I guess that sequence rendering doesn't
like LW Command at this place,
also LWSN doesn't support LW Command at all.

I put it down to the camera frame size changing when LW wasn't expecting it, but maybe it's something else. F9 sequences work just fine though.

Maybe you can team up and make the perfect animated LR plugin.

I think Denis can do just find without me! He's a talent!

...the perfect animated LR...

Or vote to get native envelopable LR in 10.x.

Well yeah you could request that NT does it....

I found this on the lwplugindb:

Similar to what Denis and Matt made, though not as interactive.

Nice spotting - though not quite the same - this one is an image filter, so it means the whole frame is rendered first, then it saves an area of the image out. That said, could come in handy if you wanted to export out sections of an image as separate sequences...

I'll be using this nearly everyday.

Thanks so much for this script, Matt.

I'm trying to get this to work "with borders" so that the interpolated limited region can overlay onto an existing animation, but am having no luck regardless of which Image Filter is used.

The PSD Export, RPF Export, and RLA Export, for example, crop the output file to the size of the limited region rather than preserving the frame size defined in the camera settings. Even if I leave the Image Viewer open and confirm the borders are intact at render time, the exporters cut off the extra space.

I also tried exporting the renders with Section Saver and set it to export the full camera frame size -- but then the region gets repositioned to the upper left corner of the frame regardless of its original position. Ugh.

Has anyone had any luck with this? Am I missing something obvious? I don't normally export files via the Image Filters, so maybe I'm doing something wrong -- but this seems very odd.

Any help would be most welcome!

I was told some time back that the frame size was coded to never changed when doing a sequence render (F10), which is a shame because it would be really handy to set up a single surface baking camera to do a whole scene of objects at different resolutions as necessary, rather than having to set up multiple cameras, etc.
