Really? It does not work for you?
The first click does not always work for some reason.
Ctrl + LMB selecting the View Widget's Encircle (Green) should rotate the view 90 degrees with each Ctrl = LMB click

The YafaRay4tS node render buttons now all force the use of the yafaray render.
The yafaray toolbar works with yafaray or vray. Is that intended or should those also force the use of the yafaray renderer?

This has been confusing me, shouldn't the yafaRay toolbar close if vRay selected as render?

That was the only solution that I could come up with.
The commands for the offline renderer and the YafaRay4tS node render buttons are different.
This issue where both YafaRay and Vray render at the same time, exist if the YafaRay4tS node is in the scene and Vray is the selected Renderer.

So why have multiple render buttons, couldn't one row of render icons, maybe the one's on the main toolbar, control whichever renderer is selected?

The trueSpace offline render toolbar icons are compatible with Vray and YafaRay4tS, for which ever offline renderer is selected.

The YafaRay4tS toolbar has other options for YafaRay4tS and NOT Vray.

Suggestion: Do not use the YafaRay4tS layout when using Vray and or load the YafaRay4tS toolbar.

I think there's an error.
All the offline render buttons are the same as basic, not unofficial, truespace.
So they will not call the extra code that you made for vray.
The yafaray buttons have the commands that used to exist in the main toolbar render buttons and does call the extra code in "/Scripts/Commands/RenderScene" etc.

I think I can answer.
The right click for the main toolbar render buttons all do the exact same thing, open the render preferences. It assumes one preferences panel, but yafaray has several.
The yafaray toolbar render button right click opens the render preferences, animation right click will open the animation settings and area right click will open the camera settings.
The main toolbar render buttons do work with whatever renderer is selected. The reason the yafaray render buttons exist is because it wasn't possible to use the main toolbar render buttons in earlier versions of YafaRay4tS.

This is where I'm confused.
yafaray toolbar render scene button. it is checking for the script/commands/renderscene to see if it can run it. the script/commands/renderscene is for use with vray. script/commands/renderscene does some vray stuff then calls OfflineRender.RenderScene('')
so why is the yafaray button asking to do vray stuff instead of bypassing it and just calling OfflineRender.RenderScene('') directly?

Code: Select all

OfflineRender.OpenView('',0,0);
if (Node.Exists('/Scripts/Commands/RenderScene')){
   Activity.Run('/Scripts/Commands/RenderScene');
}
if (!Node.Exists('/Scripts/Commands/RenderScene')){
   OfflineRender.RenderScene('')
};

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 21 Dec 2019, 19:12

My proposal is that you do this for the yafaray toolbar buttons.
1. force yafaray toolbar button to only call yafaray render
2. don't call code intended for vray

animation button example:

Code: Select all

if(Node.Exists("/Offline renderers/Yafaray")) {
  var myenum = System.CreateDO("Common Data Package/String Enum Data");
  myenum = Node.Value("/Offline renderers", "Renderer");
   var str = myenum.GetSelectedString();
  if(str!="Yafaray") {
    myenum.SetSelectedString("Yafaray");
    Node.Value("/Offline renderers", "Renderer") = myenum;
  }
}
OfflineRender.OpenView('',0,0);
OfflineRender.RenderAnimation('')

I have not changed the unofficial offline render icon commands nor the YafaRay4tS render icons at all since your last update to these items.
When you did this last update to these items, they were compatible with Vray and YafaRay4tS, and visa versa.
It was my understanding that you wanted the YafaRay4tS render icons to work with both the unofficial update and tS761/tS761Std without the unofficial update. Which is why you have the check for the Scripts/Commands/Scripts

Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like you wanting the YafaRay4tS render icons to force/switch to the Yafaray renderer. Which would make them not compatible with Vray? If that is true, and without testing, it may result in unexpected/wanted results.

As I have always said, I just want them to work in all scenarios mentioned above.

If you want to supply the toolbar buttons with the changes, and you test them thoroughly, I am more then willing to update the unofficial updates.

Some day I would like to retire though.

On a different previously posted issue, if you cancel the batch render at Frame 0, the Yaf_render.cmd and yaf_test_0000.xml are not deleted.

Maybe I'm not understanding, what do your Scripts/Commands/Scripts do and why are they needed for yafaray buttons? Is it so the yafaray buttons work with vray plus the extra processing from the Scripts/Commands/Scripts? Do the Scripts/Commands/Scripts do something for yafaray renders?

Not needed for Yafaray, but needed for Vray in the unofficial updates, if it exist.
So the Yafaray render icons are compatible with Vray in tS761, and tS761 with the unofficial updates.
Seems to me, the way it is presently, it works in all the above applications.
Unless I am missing something.

Why did you tell Saul to not use the yafaray4ts toolbar if you now say it should work with vray?
This is confusing. In one post "no don't use it with vray". Another post , "it's there so you can use it with vray". Does the yafaray render buttons need to work with vray, "no". Does the yafarya render buttons need to work with vary, "yes".

I'm okay either way, it would just be helpful to have a definitive answer.

When vray is the active renderer, what should happen when you press the yafaray toolbar render buttons?
It sounds like your answer is - it should run the vray render through the scripts/commands/scripts.
So the left click is squared away. What about right click? It's setup for yafaray with the modifications for animation panel and camera panel, so those right clicks won't work with vray.
So animation and render area right click is only for yafaray and left click is for yafaray and vray.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 21 Dec 2019, 22:37

Testing in tS761 with the present update:
If I have Vray as the selected Renderer and use all of the YafaRay4tS render icon's LMB and RMB commands, Vray works and Yafaray does not.
If I have Yafaray as the selected Renderer and use all of the YafaRay4tS render icon's LMB and RMB commands, Yafaray works and Vray does not.

Is this how it works in tS761 without the Update?

We had this conversation when you first integrated Yafaray with tS761's Offline Renderer and you said the Scripts/Commands/Vray scripts would not be a problem. Now for some reason they are.

The big picture here is trueSpace's Offline Render Icons are the same as the YafaRay4tS Render Icons. They look the same!

I have explained why , answered your questions, and you do not understand. So I try a different way and here I am explaining the same thing again.

AGAIN...

Ok, I stand correct with regards to the yafaray toolbar right clicks.
And final answer is "The yafaray toolbar render buttons should also work with vray".

I guess I got confused when it sounded like you told Saul to not use the yafaray buttons for vray, even though it's specifically setup to run vray as well.

@ Clinton
I am proposing to make a change to the
Background widget
Look at Selection / Zoom to Selection (Pont Edit Mode)

Code: Select all

function Execute(params)
{
	var edgecnt = params.ConValue('edgecnt');
	var tricnt = params.ConValue('tricnt');
	var facetri = params.ConValue('facetri');

	//convert point edit selection back to original type(or close to it) // Changed to Context 1/11/2020
	if(edgecnt > 0 || tricnt > 0 || facetri > 0)
	{

		if(edgecnt > 0)
			Node.Value('/Preferences/Mesh Editor Settings','PE selection mode') = 'context'	//'face edge';
		if(tricnt > 0)
			Node.Value('/Preferences/Mesh Editor Settings','PE selection mode') = 'context'	//'triangle';
		if(facetri > 0)
			Node.Value('/Preferences/Mesh Editor Settings','PE selection mode') = 'context'	//'face';

		MeshModifiers.ActivatePointEditWidget('','','Default');
		MeshModifiers.ConvertSelection('','');
	}

}

Background widget
Changed
* B + I + LMB select in empty space - Opens Widget Help panel

Note: I have noticed that the Background Help panel can open unexpectedly with the previous short cut (I + LMB select empty space)

Look at Selection / Zoom to Selection (Pont Edit Mode)
Changed
Current - Point Edit Mode reverts to Context Mode after Zoom to Selection

Note: This works the same as before with the exception that is does not switch you out of Context mode. Before if you were in say Face mode, it would stay in Face mode, not allowing you to select Points or Edges. With Context mode, you can select any elements.

Please try this change on your end and tell me if you agree.
And if not why?
Maybe I am missing something but I see no reason why this change would not be better.
Personally, I am a fan of the Context mode and the way it is now, I have to always set it back from the toolbar.

Why "B", does it stand for something? Could you make it "shift" or "ctrl" instead?

I agree that if you start in context mode, you should stay in context mode.

I don't agree with forcing all modes to context. We have options of edge, face, context etc., I don't want to have to fight for whatever mode I have selected every time I zoom in PE mode.

B stands for Background and it is closer to the I key, when using one hand.
Ctrl + I and or Shift + I is awkward, when using one hand.

Not understanding why you disagree, as you can still select any element in Context mode.
Never the less, I would not know how to write the code.
Ideas?

Because forcing your personal preferences on someone else's workflow is bad. It's a "I like context so everybody must like context" attitude. If possible you should respect the users choices.
The attached will restore the actual selection mode chosen by the user from before the zoom action. It's a replacement for the Look at selection node in the Background widget.

Sweeeeeet! Thanks!

I applied the same changes to the other two nodes.

Do you notice that PE Selection Mode stays highlighted in the toolbar?
All other modes too, except context, vertex, and edge.

Meaning, they do no stay highlighted on your installation after using Zoom to Selection?

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 13 Jan 2020, 17:03

Don't think they're related.

Tested in unpatched virgin tS:

context highlight goes off when exit PE mode
vertex highlight goes off when exit PE mode
edge highlight goes off when exit PE mode

face highlight stays on when exit PE mode
triangle face highlight stays on when exit PE mode
edge loop highlight stays on when exit PE mode
face loop highlight stays on when exit PE mode

Add
Modal Questions to the Remove Helpers button script and Helpers Remove button scripts
Examples:

If you Remove these Helpers thier animation will be lost!
Do you still want to remove all of these Helpers?

This Center helper has been animated, this part of the animation will be lost!
Do you still want to remove this Center object?

In order to animate the Helpers seperatly, you must add atleast one keyframe to each one BEFORE animating the Object. This will create a AnimClip for each one that is seperate from the Object's AnimClip. Equally important, you can not Remove these helpers or you will lose any animation.
You need to add these items, highlighted in Red, to the Keying panel from the Attribute Browser.

I been playing around with this a bit.
When i use the deformers on an object then load a new, empty, scene, the keying panel retains the previous scenes settings for an object no longer present. Is this intentional behaviour?
Edit: And the ghost settings are not editable, clicking on them, deletes them...

Discovered that the Status Messages for the Object and Camera widgets is not a good idea. Because in order to Undo the widget's transformation, you had to Undo 4 or 5 steps. So I removed the Status Messages from ALL of the widgets. Also the previous single LMB click to deactivate the widget, inhibited the ability to select other objects and countinue with the widget's transformation. So back to Shift + LMB click in 3D Space to deactivate the widgets or you can right clik the following toolbar icons.

* Object Move, Object Rotate, and Object Scale - RMB = Exit 'Deactivate the widget'
* Camera Move, Camera Rotate, Camera FOV, and Rectangle Zoom - RMB = Exit 'Deactivate the widget'
Also fixed the WinGUID_Bar aspect toolbar's Rectangle Zoom button. It nows shows as active when in use.

Still not happy with the RMB commands I used to Deactivate the widgets!
I used the Cube primitive tool and Object tool commands.
I found another solution that works better and more importantly, with regards to the Undo history.
Studied what was happening in the Widgets Layer2 node and the Command Console while using these commands.
Do not see any problems.

Code: Select all

Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{5C9008D4-B6B3-4359-9E63-18D2FC228A6E}','/Widgets/Tools/Move selection','Default','','Dummy');Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget()
Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{5C9008D4-B6B3-4359-9E63-18D2FC228A6E}','/Widgets/Tools/Rotate selection','Default','','Dummy');Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget()
Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{5C9008D4-B6B3-4359-9E63-18D2FC228A6E}','/Widgets/Tools/Scale selection','Default','','Dummy');Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget()
Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{5C9008D4-B6B3-4359-9E63-18D2FC228A6E}','/Widgets/Tools/View tools/Camera move','Default','','Dummy');Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget()
Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{5C9008D4-B6B3-4359-9E63-18D2FC228A6E}','/Widgets/Tools/View tools/Camera rotate','Default','','Dummy');Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget()
Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{5C9008D4-B6B3-4359-9E63-18D2FC228A6E}','/Widgets/Tools/View tools/Camera fov','Default','','Dummy');Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget()
Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{5C9008D4-B6B3-4359-9E63-18D2FC228A6E}','/Widgets/Tools/View tools/Rect zoom','Default','','Dummy');Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget()

Edit: Need to add one more,

Code: Select all

Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget()

command to the end, due to the undo behavoir.

Edit2: Further testing, the Widgets.ActivateDefaultWidget() commands did not work when in Point Editing mode.
Instead I am using MeshModifiers.ActivateSelectionTool()
So the final RMB commands are:

Code: Select all

/*
Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{E8913C00-9A2A-43cf-8238-27B4BFB50A1F}','/Widgets/Tools/Move selection','Default','','Dummy');MeshModifiers.ActivateSelectionTool()
Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{E8913C00-9A2A-43cf-8238-27B4BFB50A1F}','/Widgets/Tools/Rotate selection','Default','','Dummy');MeshModifiers.ActivateSelectionTool()
Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{E8913C00-9A2A-43cf-8238-27B4BFB50A1F}','/Widgets/Tools/Scale selection','Default','','Dummy');MeshModifiers.ActivateSelectionTool()

Widgets.ReplaceWidget('{E8913C00-9A2A-43cf-8238-27B4BFB50A1F}','/Widgets/Tools/View tools/Camera rotate','Default','','Dummy');MeshModifiers.ActivateSelectionTool()

Note:
This enables you to apply the Set Postprocess Color Key to a New 3D Window. Only one.
When trueSpace opens a new 3D Window, the Postprocess panel does not exist until you select the 3D Window with the Settings tab opened. If you want to have the new 3D Window with Postprocess Color Key and not the scene, here is the steps.
1.)Do not apply the Set Postprocess Color Key to the scene!
2.) Open a new 3D Window with the Settings tab opened and make sure it has a Postprocess panel.
3.) Set the Postprocess Color Key.
If you close the 3D Window, you will have to apply the steps again.

LMB Opens the Quad Window
RMB Saves the Quad Window's user modifications

With the Quad Window open, you can change the location, size, individual window's size, Background color, Grid, Scene, and Postprocess settings. RMB click the Quad Window icon to save your settings.

This is an uncluttered version that does not have the top TAB's Library and scene name. All 4 windows do not have scene names and or Workspace Navigation toolbars.
If you switch any of the windows to Model and back to Workspace, the Workspace Navigation toolbar will be recreated. If you open this Quad Window in the 4View layout, all but 3 of the 4View's Workspace Navigation toolbars will close.

I can find no 'grid' setting in the attribute browser, is it not possible to animate the grid from wire to solid for example?
Also is it possible for the layout tab in the scene animator to pick up custom tabs in layout library?

The Grid attribute is a string and you are not able to animate that.
But you can use the 3D Record to change it in your animation.
viewtopic.php?t=5930#p57371
The layouts are hard coded. You would have to add your layout in the code.
What is it, that you are wanting to do?
With your scene loaded in your layout, Save it as a Project.
Upload it here and tell me what it is your wanting to do.

Hey Saul,
Try this new version.
Preferences.RsObj
It is not path dependent with layouts.
It uses the active window that has focus.
Downside is it does not work from the Stack, so you will need to open the floating panel.
Select any opened window and make changes to the Preferences panel.
The Watch Dog Events are unreliable at first, but once they are initialized they will work.
