Hi you script wizards…
I tried to write this script myself, but I am only proficient in Visual Basic and for some reason I can’t wrap my head around this scripting language.
I really like Pixolator’s ZTimeLapse script, however I wished for something a bit different. My idea is to have a script that takes a thumbnail sized screengrab, just like in the TimeLapse script, but only when the artist requests it (either by clicking a button or using a hotkey). The ZTimeLapse captures fairly random grabs and if you want to capture part of your process at a specific time, you have to hope one of the grabs is in the right place.
So, If I am modeling something, I can request a grab at points when I feel the reader would like to see the progress. Then it would save a thumbnail sheet after the session just like Pix’s script.
Anyone interested in trying this? Just for fun, I’ve included my attempt as a .txt file…maybe someone can pick it apart for me and tell me what I’m doing wrong.
Thanks,
Brian
