here's a simple 1 point animation

doesn't render here!

Let us know if it renders.

The 1st time I hit run I got an error but it still rendered.

edit.

now I am getting this and only way I can render is if I change the name.

I think that error is becuase the two layers aren't in a group folder - try putting them inside a group and see if that stops the errors... interesting it renders though... maybe i'll try removing fazeks tools and see if that helps

-------

update:
Removing the other tool scripts didn't seem to help at all... I wonder what is magic about your install that lets you export? :s
It crashes even if baked and interpolation is ticked off...
if you bake then remove the embedded scripts it works (as you'd expect)

won't work on win7 with xp compability also.

when I render preview, not ctrl+R for one frame, I mean with F5 key for whole animation, it works, it render with script. (W7, ASP7)

that's true! it DOES work when you press F5 - only it doesn't save the file and renders considerably smaller than actual size :S

Why would it crash on export?? this is most deffinately a bug

---------

I just got a message from a promenant member, who i guess wishes to remain annonymous or he would have posted here, who said the only thing to change in AS7 rendering is the multicore support - Stephen are you using a single core? cos i'm using quad core.

I set the affinity of AS7 to only 1 core and although it still crashed i managed to see the LUA error which says:

Code: Select all

error in function '.mul'.
    argument #2 is 'function'; 'number' expected.

dunno if this helps anyone recognise the issue??

The multicore issue seems to make sense, as F5 preview seems to just use a single thread...

I have a single core processor.

I'm able to render fine in swf format using AS 7(Vista Home Premium, Dual Core.) But the other codecs crash(avi, mov). No other scripts installed.

Chiming in to say WOW.

I hadn't time nor inclination to look into this too much until now (have AS7 at work and home now) and watching Funksmaname's youtube vids last night the possibilities are pretty exciting. I like how customisable it is, and how you get a more tactile interface with actions.

So I wanted to thank Rudiger for the awesome work, and Funksmaname for the youtubage. Good work guys.

np madrobot

Furby - swf export appears to just use a single core for export so this would explain it working on a dual core machine....

btw, it was synthsin75 who contacted me with the tip, and he said also that swf export doesn't use layer scripts (hense when I tried to export my unbaked animation there was no movement, despite the export working)

bummer

I tried stripping down the embedded script to the bare minimum and still get a crash. What I found was quite interesting.

This code caused a crash:

Code: Select all

bonePos[name] =  bone.fAnimPos:GetValue(frame)

But this code didn't:

Code: Select all

local bonePos0 = bone.fAnimPos:GetValue(frame)
bonePos[name] = bonePos0

It seems like the Lua interpreter is somehow not able to work correctly while AS is rendering. Anyway, I submitted a bug report over at the Smith Micro website, so I guess we'll see what happens.

Nice one Rudiger

Great Rudiger hope they can fix it in time for the next update.

Also made a short video demo of your script for another forum:
