Hey Hugh, without going too much into detail (lack the time right now, will try later today) I love the idea. Even tho we are not on RV i would still love to see something like that!

Dezember 2011 11:55 An: PYTHON (nuke) discussion Betreff: [Nuke-python] Flipbooking Hi all, I was looking, over the weekend, at using RV as a flipbooker. There are a few things that I'd like to be able to do with it that don't seem to be supported by the current flipbooking implementation. As such, I'm looking to write a new subclass of FlipbookDialog that supports a different FlipbookApplication API, giving more options to the Application class. There are two features that I'd like to support: * Supporting standard render callbacks in the FlipbookApplication class. beforeRender, beforeFrameRender, afterFrameRender and afterRender. * Supporting reordering on the frames to be rendered. So frames 1-100 could be rendered in the order: 1,100,50,25,75,etc, or reversed, etc With this, what I'd like to do with RV is write a new FlipbookApplication class that starts up RV at the start of a flipbook render, and passes in each frame as it renders. This would enable Shake-style flipbooking where you can view the rendered sequence as you go, and it keeps adding new frames to the end. With the frame reordering, it would allow flipbooks to start RV and then fill in the frames, meaning that, after half the range is done, it'll already have every other frame. This will allow artists to spot issues with their comps far earlier - if there is an issue at the end of a render, it'll show up in the first few frames, rather than the artist having to wait until the whole render is done. What do people think of this? It's something that I'd like to do, and would plan on releasing it to the wider world. It's something, though, that I'm sure a lot of people would have opinions on, and would love to hear what people think before I start on it.
