Full Version: Cycles for MoI

Show messages:  1-15  16-35  36-55  56-75  76-95  96-113

First public release of Cycles for MoI script

Installation:
- extract script archive into the MoI/commands directory
- download Cycles standalone (http://blender.dingto.org/cycles_standalone/Cycles_Windows64.zip) and extract it into MoI/cycles directory
- create MoI/snapshots directory


Script usage:
_Cycles -> export selected objects as cycles xml files, start Cycles
_Cycles noexport -> If you exported scene objects once, you don't need to export it every time when you run Cycles. This mode useful while changing camera position or material settings.

Materials:
Default material - Diffuse, Rougness 80%
You can change the material by editing the style name
Examples:

[D:20] = Diffuse, Rougness 20%
[G:20] = Glossy, Rougness 20%
[S:10] = Glass, Rougness 10%
[E:1000]= Emission, Strength 1000

Cycles hotkeys:
P - pause
Q - save image and quit
I - interactive mode

A futur hit!
Prodigious! Don't know that Cycles existing as Stanalone! (So no need to learn Blender! :D

Ah damned : don't works for me!
Just appear and disapear the Cycles Windows! (1/10 second ! ;)

No problem that Moi is in the (x86) folder and Cycles who seems a 64 bits program is inside this Moi's folder ?

What exactly the process ?
I launch Moi - I export an object as .xml ??? i have not that inside Moi !
I launch Cycles (?)
or other... ?

...must I install the last version of Blender too?

---

anyway it should works.
Does export window appears?

No, just install cycles standalone.

My script can have problems with special characters in the paths.. I'll check it tomorrow.

---

Just a Dos (?) window as I can see on this rapid view! :) and just 1/10 second then nothing!

What must be there in the Moi's Cycles folder ? All the unzip Cycles file ?

Ps It's a Zenit camera ? :)

Hi, it's working very nicely. The exporter seems very stable and quick. Is there others options for materials?

Cool!
All works this time!

Frenchy Pilou what them you use for Windows? I saw that kind of windows before and I like them.

---

No Special Windows, it's the natural model by default in Windows 8! :)
(i just edit the color of 2D image for the forum ;)

But you can make the same inside Moi with editing color of the UI !

Frenchy Pilou, I just talking about windows theme, not about MoI GUI, now I understood it is Windows 8, thanks.

---

Does anyone know if this works with the Mac?

---

From this http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.6/Source/Render/Cycles/Standalone

I suppose yes, but the Max script itself I don't know!

---

Seems the render Window size is not kept if this size modified at the beginning for the next renders!

---

>>Does anyone know if this works with the Mac?
Unfortunately I don't have a Mac, so I can't check this.
I'll try to install MacOS to virtual machine.

>>Seems the render Window size is not kept if this size modified at the beginning for the next renders!
It's impossible to get window size information from cycles to moi.

---

<< It's impossible to get window size information from cycles to moi.

I speek about the Window's size render of Cycles: who can be anywhere on the same monitor or on another one
so not in the screen of Moi !

OSX:

I managed to get Cycles standalone running on OSX, also managed to write out an .xml file into the temp folder with your script!
Then with Terminal, I rendered it with Cycles. With this script:

/Applications/MoI\ v3.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/moi/cycles/cycles /Applications/MoI\ v3.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/users/Wineskin/Temp/ball_square_scene.xml

But not a programmer, so didn't understand how to edit your script so it does this automatically.

When you say that
"Then with Terminal"
How do you process for access to a "terminal" ?
