Ruby animation script

[the script currently only works on windows]


Hey,

I wrote this little animation script in Ruby because Zom-B needed to render an animation.

Here is how to use it (Ruby installation i required, get it here):

1.) Put the animation.rb in your indigo folder.
2.) open up a command line, cd to you indigo dir
3.) ./animation.rb "directory/with/all/the/igs/files/to/be/rendered" "where/to/save/the/output" "-halt 60"


The script takes 3 arguments. The first one is the folder with the .igs files to queue (it will render all files found in that folder), the second is the folder where to save the output (has to exist) and in the last one you can override render settings (you can use all valid indigo command line switches).

It also auto resumes form .igi files in the output folder, if there are any (so you can do another pass if you're not satisfied with the result).

You can get the script here:

And a test animation:
