I’ve been doing a lot of timelapses lately. However I don’t know how to store the movie settings and basic layout from each session. And how can you determine at what size full screen and window are for the timelapses?
you’ll want to make a macro to set up all of those settings.
start a new document.
macro>record
make all changes that you’d like the macro to perform.
document size (document)
movie settings (movie)
anything really.
I always add a ctrl+N at the beginning and end of a macro. Just to make sure you’re working on a clean slate.
If you mess up, you can always edit the .txt file that the macro will generate later and add new things as you see fit.
Once you have everything set to go you can either place the button on your interface or store a hotkey to that macro. Just run it before you start recording and you should be all set.
The size of your document when recording is determined by the size of your document. Settings are also held in the movie panel. Large = 100%, med = 50%, small = 25%. There is also a slider that goes from 0-1 that can be moved to change your size based on a percentage of your document size…so in case you want some odd resize to like .6 or something.
I don’t recommend using that unless you’re doing either 100% 50% or 25% (which there are already buttons for) though as it makes for some horrible aliasing for your movies.
Make sure you put your macro into Zbrush’s macro folder though so it can find it at start up.
Hope that helps.
how do you store the hotkey of the macro to tell it to stop recording the macro?
