Workspace render in modelspace fix

[clintonman]

New script called "Bridge Synchronize" makes it possible to render workspace animations from modelspace.

http://www.clintons3d.com/plugins/trues ... index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Create a workspace animation.
Load the script node into the link editor scene and push the setup button.
Check the active checkbox and you're good to go.

Now you can render from modelspace and when you scrub the workspace timeline modelspace follows along. If scrubbing is slow, deactivate the node until you are ready to render.

I've only tested with keyframe animation. Physics and procedural have not been tested yet.

I found an issue while using your new updated Bridge Synchronize Script.

First as a test using Model's 'Render to File' and without using any Bridge Synchronize scripts.
I can confirm that when changing Model Render to File's Animation to Workspace it captures the Workspace AE 'Play Range' and the Workspace's Animation Preference's 'Shrink Play Range' button works.
I can repeatedly make changes and Model's 'Render to File' and Workspace's Animation Preference's 'Shrink Play Range' button works as expected.

When I use your new updated Bridge Synchronize Script the Workspace's Animation Preference's 'Shrink Play Range' button stops working. I have to Reset the Default Context to get it to work again.


Edit: It happens when the script is Active and you select the Shrink Play Range.
Thinking it may be the Try and catch error.
If I run this script below without the Try and catch error with Bridge Synchronize active, then this script does not work. But I do not have to Reset the Default Context.
RsTime.AnimStart = RsTime.EvalAnimStart('')
RsTime.AnimEnd = RsTime.EvalAnimEnd('')
Node.Value("/Preferences/AnimPref", "PlayRangeStart") = Node.Value("/AnimMng", "AnimStart")
Node.Value("/Preferences/AnimPref", "PlayRangeEnd") = Node.Value("/AnimMng", "AnimEnd")


Idea? - Use ScriptObject.Execute() for the Shrink Play Range?
