Comment on My Left Arm and the Royal Wedding by Andrew

Fascinating journey I shall notice. You are somewhat lucky ending up in software development where the most strain left arm can normally experience is from the mechanical keyboard with “cherry black” caps.

_reminder to self:_ Check Sam’s blog at least once per year.

Hi
thanks for this .. this saved me a bit of work figuring our how to the metadata.
Did you find in the meantime a way to update the UI?

Hello Sam,
That’s an interesting post, thanks for sharing!
Did you find out more information since the article was written?

I’m looking for a way to write custom metadatas to my EXR renders, through an expression.
(the ‘.verticalFilmOffset’, ‘.horizontalFilmOffset’ and ‘.preScale’ attributs of the rendering camera)

And I need to do it in script, as the scene if fully built in script.
So I guess that falls right into your case, doesn’t it?

I don’t find much information out there on the subject. I’d be grateful for any help on the subject.

Thanks a lot,
Adrien

Hey Sam.

I do have a solution how the GUI is updated correctely if you are adding attribues:

c= customShapeAttributes.EXRDriverTranslatorUI(‘aiAOVDriver’)
c._setActiveNodeAttr(nodeName)
c.updatedMetadata(nodeName)

Whithout c._setActiveNodeAttr(nodeName) the self.nodeName variable is not set and because of that the GUI update doesn´t work.

Hope you still have a use for that.

Comment on Intersection of a line and a Cone by baltam

Thanks, this code is very helpful
Could you explain me the last equations that express hitOne and hitTwo?
hitOne and hitTwo are the two distances between the cone origin and the points intersections along the cone vector, isn’t it?
