Blackmagic Forum

So in the same spirit of the generation video I did, I wanted to show how a handful of python scripts can make fusion shine with multi channel exr's. My hope is blackmagic sees this, and implements something similar, I actually like this workflow better than the nuke workflow. And I also hope it motivates people to learn a little python in fusion, because it can go a long way to making life happier

for some reason, embedding the youtube video isn't working, so just copy the above link, if this doesn't work.

nice!

I use hos_SplitEXR scripts for it, but I just did some adjustments there to make it understand 3ds and Houdini's AOVs..

This looks great! Do you have some kind of recipes you can chose from for different renderers or scenarios? I tried to do something similar but it quickly become burden, from project to project, picking vray or arnold, easy or full assembly...

Do you have the scripts published somewhere? I would like to check how you handled the sync.

Thank you

I pretty much always just use the Lightwave renderer, so the basics are always the same, masks and other channels change, but the basics to build the scene are the same.

This is the sync Code, it's very straight forward, look at the active tool, get the clip name, look through all the other loaders, if they have the same name, make the settings match.

disclaimer, try this at your own risk, if it destroys your hard drive and gets your wife pregnant, I am not responsible

Code: Select all

#this will sync all loaders with the same clip name to the timing of the selected loader
import os

tool = comp.ActiveTool
loaders = comp.GetToolList()
GlobalIn = tool.GlobalIn[1]
GlobalOut = tool.GlobalOut[1]
TrimIn = tool.ClipTimeStart[1]
TrimOut = tool.ClipTimeEnd[1]
holdFist= tool.HoldFirstFrame[1]
holdLast= tool.HoldLastFrame[1]
revers = tool.Reverse[1]
loop = tool.Loop[1]
clip = tool.Clip[1]

comp.Lock() # Lock the comp so the GUI doesn't open up.
comp.StartUndo("LoaderSync")

for i in loaders.values():
    if i.GetAttrs()['TOOLS_RegID'] =='Loader':
        if i.Clip[1] ==clip:
            print(i.Clip[1])
            i.GlobalIn[1]=GlobalIn
            i.GlobalOut[1]=GlobalOut
            i.ClipTimeStart[1]=TrimIn
            i.ClipTimeEnd[1]=TrimOut
            i.HoldFirstFrame[1]=holdFist

            i.Reverse[1]=revers

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the script. It looks like it will owerwrite all Loaders in comp, correct?

Here is what I use to version up/down CG renders. It tries to check for all versions on drive and let's you choose which version to use. You need to select one loader for script to get base path.

Warning, Lua code ahead...

Code: Select all

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 3D - Raise Version
--
-- based on import directory script
--
-- reads path from selected loader and removes last directory from it, this is our search path
-- this last (removed) directory contains version number (last group of numbers in directory name)
-- search drive for all clips loadable to fusion that are on search path
-- for each loader in comp, compare loader path with search path, matching loaders are candidates to raise version
-- change paths to loaders only if all of them have higher version with the same length and no missing frames

it will overwrite all loaders that have the exact same footage name. so it says

look at all loaders, for each of those, look at the footage name, does it match the footage name of the selected node, if it does make all the timings match.

So if you use the same footage somewhere else in the comp, but want that to be different timing, this script will mess that up and sync it, though I don't know a way around that. the whole idea is, sync all loaders that are using the same footage so all the timing matches. but for 99% of my work, this is what I want,

cheers,
Chris

Got it, thank you!

Awesome. This looks like it will solve one of the workflow items I am trying to resolve in another thread. (viewtopic.php?f=22&t=40817)

I am new to Fusion and I am still using the free version. Do I need to purchase Studio in order to use this script since it Python?

yes my understanding is you need studio to do scripting, though I haven't ever tried it in the free version,

You can run and use python and Lua in fusion (free version) but only scripts that you run from inside fusion.
With the studio version you can control fusion via python from outside/other programs

All the scripts here work in the free version

Hi Chris,
Is it possible to share the Updater code you are using as well?

I hacked a simple solution to updating my loaders based on the selected Loader. I don't know how to script so I may have extra lines in the code that are not needed.

I took Chris's sync script and stripped it down and told it to look for the word "update" in the comments sections of loaders. If it finds "update" then it syncs the loader clip. This works well though the idea could probably be developed to a greater degree.

No I just need to figure out how to modify the "hos_SplitEXR.eyeonscript" to include the comment "update" by default. I made a second script that syncs the comments in the meantime. Baby steps...

Code: Select all

#this will sync all loaders with the same clip based on matching comment
import os

tool = comp.ActiveTool
loaders = comp.GetToolList()
update = tool.Comments[1]
clip = tool.Clip[1]

comp.Lock() # Lock the comp so the GUI doesn't open up.
comp.StartUndo("LoaderSync")

for i in loaders.values():
    if i.GetAttrs()['TOOLS_RegID'] =='Loader':
        if i.Comments[1] ==update:
            print(i.Comments[1])
            i.Clip[1]=clip

comp.Unlock() # Lock the comp saver GUI doesn't open up.

comp.EndUndo(True)

I wish I would have found this EXR Updater one a few days ago... so much easier than what I was trying to do and written by someone who knew what they were doing.
