Subject: Export Wavefront OBJ - Multi frame export - Frame Range: every nth frame possibl

What I would like to do is: - Export a model for every nth frame in an animation

I know how to export models for every frame in an animation - via "Export Wavefront OBJ - Multi frame export - Frame Range".

But unfortunately, there's no option to tell Poser to export only every nth frame ...

Is there any unofficial way to export a model

  • for every nth frame
  • for each keyframe
  • for an arbitrary list of frames
    in an animation ?

 Not within the standard gui, but I think this should be able to do with Python. I don't know if Python can detect the keyframes, but the rest should work.

A python script would work. Every nth frame or by keyframe or by list of frame numbers can be done. You would need to build a filename yourself but thats not hard to do.

I have something rudimentary in place - having used the existing python script 'PythonposerscriptsRenderControlexport.py' as a blueprint ...

BUT: Multiframe Export doesn't seem to function from script:

  • When I call
             myExportObject.Export('obj', 'File Format Wavefront', '/Keyframes/Keyframe.obj', exportOptions)
      with
             exportOptions[poser.kExOptCodeMULTIFRAME] = 0
      then the current figure is output

  • When I call the same method with
             exportOptions[poser.kExOptCodeMULTIFRAME] = 1
      then NOTHING happens ...

My script IS actually cruising the keyframes of the current animation, but the Multiframe Export method is not working properly ... A known bug ?

New enlightenment: I don't need 'Multiframe Export' in this case; the 'Export' function exports the current keyframe object automatically !
So I've set

  • 'exportOptions[poser.kExOptCodeMULTIFRAME] = 0'
  • 'exportOptions[poser.kExOptCodeFIRSTFRAME]' NOT at all
  • 'exportOptions[poser.kExOptCodeLASTFRAME]' NOT at all

And all keyframe models are output automatically !
