[clintonman]

Video update - no audio, just a quick render test
Shows render via built in render button
New internal display using the OptiDetector plugin
File saves during partial render to update the display.

I notice that the Plugins.xml file still had references to the iOptDetectors.dll after uninstalling it. When I reinstalled it, there was a duplicated entry. This was by the Add and Remove program in Control Panel.

Code: Select all

    </RS_PLUGIN>
    <RS_PLUGIN RS_GUID="{40D0FB8D-15DA-4802-A52F-165FDDA788C6}">
        <RS_DATA STATUS="LOADED" NAME="OptDetectors Package" VERSION="v.1638401" DESC="Optical detectors" PATH="C:\trueSpace761Std\OptDetectors.dll"/>
    </RS_PLUGIN>

From the iICStage.pdf

Check .\trueSpace761\tS\Scripts\Plugins.xml file for the ICStage.dll registration. In some cases may happen you will find here more than just one instance of the ICStage.dll. This will cause death-lock of the script engine. To fix this problem leave here only one reference for the ICStage.dll. The proper registration should looks like this:
<RS_PLUGIN RS_GUID="{6150C203-9349-4EB2-AF58-13085ECF0045}">
<RS_DATA STATUS="LOADED" NAME="ICStage Package" VERSION="v.1638401" DESC="WEB server support" PATH="C:\trueSpace761\ICStage.dll"/>
</RS_PLUGIN>
The registration may vary only in the installation path.


Without using the installer, adding the OptDetectors.dll to the tS7 directory and Install/Load it from the Package Manager does work. There is a toolbar and several other MS dll (s) installed, but searching Win10 all of them already exist.

So are you recommending distributing the installed files and avoid using the installer for iOptDetectors?
Did you get the "death lock" mentioned in the iICStage manual?

[clintonman]

I did some tests and the installer will add a new line to the Plugins.xml file every time it is run. I did not experience any locking with 3 duplicate lines in the file.

NO not at all given the License Agreement!

No not yet but I have not tested it.

Just sharing in case you did not know.

[clintonman]

yeah, phrases like "death lock" is a bit worrisome. I'll definitely keep an eye out. Thanks for the heads up.

As mentioned earlier here is a copy of My OptDetectors library that includes a scene and frame window.
Example using the Scene camera and Eye camera and changing the window's heigth/width.
Also note using the Antialiasing levels. Also possible to use PostProcessing's Smooth Sampling.
Still a WIP.

How did you find the command to size the window?

looks like a typo in the script "... "LockWifth", -1, "LockHeight", -1)" should be "LockWidth"

[clintonman]

Changed so it will use trueSpace (non-Yafaray) lights in the render and adjusted some values for both trueSpace and Yafaray lights to match the render more closely.

In the Command History when using the Window settings. When you change it to LockWidth, it does not work. LOL
It uses the Inside Dimensions to size the window.
