Paul-

Thanks for posting this, it works great. I'll have to find a decent Mac OS screen capture program so I can use the script and capture quick animations right out of MoI. Very useful!

Hi Michael (ORION20036) - you wrote:

It looks like the script currently runs on a "busy loop" where the script is going in a really tight loop kind of continuously churning away. I'll try to modify it to use a timer instead and move more processing over into the main host process. I think that could make for some more consistent motion.

Many thanks Michael, It has great potential for viewing my Cad Sculptures, especially as it is so simple to capture, and your rendering settings are just perfect.


Many thanks for posting the script also Paul!.

Hi Michael, try the attached updated version, this one is kind of "lighter weight" since it doesn't make the script run in a continuous busy loop and that should likely help it have a more consistent motion.

This version will only run on v3 (or v2.5 on the Mac should be ok too).

Hope this helps!

That does the trick just great Michael, I spend so much time on my sculptures that I never have the time to create animations, so this will get me moving on some YouTube promotions.

I will post some of the links later in the week when I have sorted some of my sculptures out to animate.



Many Thanks for your time and innovation!.

Hi shayne, see here for a script you can paste as the command part of a shortcut key for doing a hide/unhide of the grid:
