Free Script: Animated Limited Region

**Matt** · 12-22-2010, 09:06 AM

Hi All

A little early present for you. Something I've been working on in my spare time (what little I have at the moment!)

Allows you to animate the Limited Region tool in Layout. Has two modes, one that just renders on the frames you 'key', and Interpolate mode (linear) which will tween between all the frames you 'key'.

As always, code is uncompiled and commented for others to learn from as I did.

Thanks Matt, Something I could have done with many times.

Might just put it into the pipeline straight away.

HAPPY XMAS TO YOU!

Thanks Matt, I will add this to my plugin/script collection since it is likely to come in handy at some point. I really like the fact that you took the time to make a video to demonstrate how you intended your script to be used.

Hmm Well I already have one that does this but I don't know who made it or remember how to work it properly. More is always better though!

Question: Is it 64 bit?

Oh I see it's just an LScript so it should work just fine with 32 or 64.

Thanks Matt yours seems to work better anyway, Happy holidays!

Thanks for the script and a video explanation is always easier to understand.
Philbert - I think that's dponts plugin I have to check to be sure. Pretty useful for renderin gi artifacts.

Matt that is brilliant......but it can be a little more awesome

Is there a way to render a Limited Region but have the rest of the camera frame in black or with a mask??

Each render is the same size of the original render....mostly blank, but with only the Limited Region areas rendered. Should make it easier to comp the updated renders back into the main image....just thinking, or is that beyond current LW(9.6/10)?
