Hi all,

I am trying to take a sequence of 32 rendered images from disk and turn them into one image where each frame is placed horizontally next to the previous frame, resulting in one long filmstrip.

I can do this already, but not in a clean procedural way. Ideally I would like to have one File COP to read in the texture sequence and the ability to change from a sequence of 32 images to 16, etc. instead of creating a large composite tree with 32 File COPs (taking advantage of the opdigits function to increment my images).

Is there any sort of looping capability in COPs, or a clever way to do this sort of thing? I imagine in VOPs/VEX there might be something, but I was hoping to avoid putting that much effort into this.

Thanks for any help.

Craig,

Would the mosaic COP work for you?

Rob

Doh!

Yes, that is EXACTLY what I was looking for…

(Don't use COPs much and never used Mosaic before..blushin…)

Wow, it doesn't get any better than this- such simple powerful solutions!!

Thanks,
Craig

I forget now, but were you the one asking about how to put attribute data into an image?

I think you are thinking about something I asked a long time ago. I figured out a way to do it, but not with COPs. I actually made an array of squares colored with the attributes I wanted and rendered them with no oversampling so a pixel represented each square. Weird, but it worked.

There probably is a better way to do it with COPs, but it's not a big concern right now for me.
