image saver node

compositing node replacement with support for png file alpha channel

Fixed the non working Open Folder
.

Those extra buttons dont match up with the image saver.
"Render to File" does not use the filename defined earlier, but opens up an entirely different folder
and "Open Folder" opens the Render to File folder also not matching with the filename

Upload a new version without the non working items and I will replace the UU9 version
Edit: I changed the Open Folder script to use the filename and removed the Render to File button

Hi TrueBlue and Clinton

hope I'm not Off-Topic but I noticed that in the instructions about UU9 Full & Std installation there is no reference to the interesting Clinton's plugins for import/export DAE and FBX-OBJ etc. (see attached). Am i wrong?

In the UU9, the Clinton's Export Utilities toolbar is located here:

.
LClick the Import FBX toolbar icon, checks if the Clintons3DFBX2019.rsx version 1638426 plugin is Installed and Loaded

Import FBX.png (7.06 KiB) Viewed 886 times

.
If not, the Package Manage opens, where you can Install and Load the plugin
You will need to Restart trueSpace

Thanks TrueBlue...
is it possible insert that instructions sequence at the end of download page of every UU9 new version where you also explain how to install vray_ts.rsx?
If so it would be useful for all new downloaders...

Once you found the toolbar and you tried to open the Import FBX, did you find the process intuitive?
If you installed Vray, there is a VRay ReadMe.rtf file in the trueSpace main directory that explains how to Install and Load the plugin
FBX_2 for trueSpace7.61
http://clintons3d.com/plugins/truespace ... inout.html
Look for the video link:
A sample video on how to install an rsx plugin for truespace can be found here. The video is for installing the Indigo Renderer, but it uses a similar rsx plugin.

Hi TrueBlue

in my previous 761Std installation i loaded Clinton's plugins and Vray_ts.rsx together so when opened the imp/exp Clinton toolbar had no message

Now in last new installation with your last upgrade had the messages with instructions as you tell.

Thanks again and excuse me for the useless question.

This is why, I recommend in the instructions to Uninstall and Reinstall trueSpace to a clean directory before running UU9
Your questions are not useless!
Importing and Exporting is not for everyone, which is why I implemented Clinton's Import and Export plugins as Optional
This way, a user can Unload (Not Uninstall) these plugin(s) when not in use, which helps lower trueSpace Resources, Start, and Shutdown times!

3D Unencapsulate gave error while using on an older scene. Problem was using an invalid value from the LinkedOutputNode command

before

Code: Select all

	//gather list of child nodes, nodes connected to the transform WldMatrix connector
	var children = [];
	for(var i = 0; i < numLinkedChildren; i++) {
		var child = Node.LinkedOutputNode(theTransform, "WldMatrix", i)
		children.push(child);
	}

after

Code: Select all

	//gather list of child nodes, nodes connected to the transform WldMatrix connector
	var children = [];
	for(var i = 0; i < numLinkedChildren; i++) {
		var child = Node.LinkedOutputNode(theTransform, "WldMatrix", i)
		if(child && Node.Exists(child)) {
			children.push(child);
		}
	}
