Script for late night RENDER

winberry

Is there any way (script?) to create a multi camera timeline and have it render without intervention: ie. Layout the story then render at night while away from computer? Best I've come up with (and it's not working too good) is to use 1 camera throughout - but am having issues with that approach.

thanks for your help

Yes, that would be scriptable. To switch cameras in DAZ Studio, assuming you have a variable storing the camera, use

var viewMgr = MainWindow.getViewportMgr();
var activeView = viewMgr.getActiveViewport();
var camera; // camera should be set to the camera we wish to use

if (camera) {
 if ( activeView ) {
  var viewport3d = activeView.get3DViewport();
  if ( viewport3d ) {
   viewport3d.setCamera( camera );
  }
 }
}

Great, thanks!
Also, are there any books on programming DAZ and DAZ scripts?
