Script for multiple colorways help

[guest84672]

Looking the camera or not makes no difference. Lock the camera, change the resolution including aspect ratio, and notice what's happening.

Interesting scene. The realtime image temporarily compresses/elongates as you change the aspect ratio. This reflects in the rendering through the script, as you specify a different aspect ratio, so that the red parts appear to not fit.
So the script is actully rendering the 'stretched state'. I think this is a bug. I will investigate.

I didn't see this issue in my own testing, but this scene clearly shows it.

With any luck, I'll be able to use this to put a final product on our website.  This product is just a start of what we have in mind!

For now, just make sure you have the correct aspect ratio in realtime. Then the image shouldn't stretch.
I will keep you updated.

how would this need to be changed to keep labels when it changes materials?

This is currently not possible, as you can't access the material properties through scripting. A label is a part of the material.
Material access is planned for a future version of KeyShot.

Can you put the shared label on a separate piece of gometry than the base material? E.g. with an opacity map?

@ maf1909:
Btw, the issue you saw with stretching of images (due to setting a different aspect ratio through scripting) will be solved in KeyShot 6.2, which is to be released very soon.
There was a bug for setting the resolution when using an orthographic camera (as you did).

awesome, good to hear!

Is it possible to make this script render to photoshop with layers?  It's looking like that's the way I'm going to have to do these images.

It is currently not possible to render to PSD with scripting.
You can render all passes and render layers to images though.

will it be possible to render to PSD with scripting in a future update?  That would save me a HUGE amount of time considering I have 116 materials to drag over, type in the name, and add to queue.
