I'm attempting to write my first custom node. The node needs to be able to take an image file (or sequence, but we can start with 1) as input, read some specific pixel values, and make these available as outputs.
I've read through most of the documentation and I've got a good idea of the direction I'm going and the bits of the API I'll need. I just didn't want to get started on the wrong foot with the input. A file node already has everything I need as far as input goes... can read in an image or sequence of images, already has the AE template for this, etc. so I feel like it would be best to start with this as my nodes input?? So my scripted plugin would generate a blank file node attached to it already. Is this logical? Is this bad practice? I'm just looking for a shove in the write direction as to how to get going. I'm feeling comfortable with the basic concepts of what I need to accomplish, it's just how I should get my input that's holding me up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Yours, Maya-Python Club Team. -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
