RenderData

Hi

I cant seem to use the RenderData class from the API. I'm new to python and blender. What I am trying to do is capture the camera rotation and output this info to a file.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Moved this to the Python forum

Here's the deal:
Each scene has it's own data set it uses to render it. This data is wrapped in a RenderData structure (which is a python object). To get this rendering data context for a scene call

Code: Select all

renderData = scene.getRenderingContext()

Code: Select all

renderData = scene.getRenderingContext()

Thanks for moving this post and for the answer.

I've been using other languages but python seems cool enough. I'm going to search for a document I need to learn how to import what I need from Blender. I'm trying this for now:

Code: Select all

import Blender

and get the current scene, I read this somewhere:

Code: Select all

scene = Blender.getCurrentScene()

Thats not working so I need figure this one correctly. Well thanks for the answer and if anyone wants to point me to the relevant documentation it would be appreciated.

Hopefully my hunt will succeed.

it should be Blender.Scene.getCurrentScene()

Thanks again. I am a little confused because for me it seems that the follwoing works:

Code: Select all

Blender.Scene.getCurrent()

Whereas:

Code: Select all

Blender.Scene.getCurrentScene()

Gives:

Code: Select all

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'getCurrentScene'

Have things been changing recently? Is this a version of the API thing?

Oh well thanks again for all the help.

Okay this is getting me mad... tring to update a script for the newer blender but I cant get access to Render Module!!!

Code: Select all

import Blender
from Blender import Scene
from Blender import Scene.Render
 
scn = Scene.GetCurrent()
context = scn.getRenderingContext()

print dir(context)

Error:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
File "Text", line 3
from Blender import Scene.Render

Why I need to access it?
RuntimeError: Depricated:use RenderData.imageSizeX() and RenderData.imageSizeY

Also there may be a typo in the example with the two .. with Render..enableDispWin() but I wouldn'r know cause I cant run it

It should read:

Code: Select all

from Blender.Scene import Render
