"A little bitty globals floater (the size of the display floater) that controls the globals you're likely to use after setting up your samples for draft/production switching."

fr Defaults fix

Submitted by Jon Seagull on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

"Fixes the default in finalRender that objects are created with GI disabled in their properties. Just put this file in scripts/startup and all objects will create with send/receive GI and receive caustics turned on. One less thing to worry about. "

fr Material2

" full replacement for the cumbersome and irritating interface of the shipping finalRender material. Cebas used part of this design (the locals rollout) in their patch releases without credit - which I guess is a backhanded compliment.
It has the following features:

batchRenderAvi

Submitted by Steev Kelly on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

this is a quick script i threw together to render a folder of over 650 2-3 second lipsync animations for the Alias project. just point to the folder - specifiy the output folder - hit 'go' and sit back and have a sandwich. requires a camera named Camera01 (i'll prolly add the ability to specify a camera name later or if enough people ask for it).

Copy Render to Clipboard

Submitted by Christopher Grant on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

Simply copies your last render to the clipboard. I've separated it into two macroscripts - one 'CopyRenderToClipboard' copies the RGB data to the clipboard and the other one 'CopyRenderAlphaToClipboard' copies the Alpha data to the clipboard.

RPC ShadowMan

Submitted by Christopher Grant on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

"Archvision RPC Trees are great for quickly placing bitmapped trees in your scene quickly. However - due to the billboard technology - a tree that is less than perpendicular to the primary light source will appear to have a skewed shadow. This script fixes that problem by automatically rendering a file from the light viewport - projecting the shadows of your trees onto the scene.

Brazil Material Converter

Submitted by Sam O'Hare on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

Converts Brazil Advanced Materials <--> Standard Materials. The new version should also handle multi-sub materials - blends - shellacs - double-sideds - top-bottoms - etc. The mass converts of multiple objects doesn't work quite right on larger scenes yet - so save your file if you are going to use them - but converting single materials/material trees in the material editor still seems stable.

Multi-Render

Submitted by Sam O'Hare on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

Renders all cameras in the scene with current render settings - sending the jobs to the Backburner Manager. Will need editing if you use a non 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.

Preview to RAM player tools

Submitted by Brad Noble on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

This one is two scripts - one to create and one to play. All the player will do is bring up the create preview dialog and after creating the preview - will ask whether you wish to view the preview in the RAM player. As for the player - well - I know other people have created the same script - but... well... I thought I'd make my own version (and I suddenly can't think why).

Radiosity Quickbar

Submitted by Sam O'Hare on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

A macroscript which produces a space-saving floater that allows you to start/stop/reset the radiosity solution - and change the meshing size. Has a progress bar to show you how far the solution has got - but it doesn't always seem to update on heavy scenes.
