Hi

I would like to write a python script that will read some numbers from a text file on every frame. The reason I need this to happen is that the numbers in the text file might change(exported from another app). I know the python side and I think I can write something to bring and apply the values for one timelike read the values from the text file and apply to the intended nodes`s channels. But I cannot think of a way to run the value importer script on every frame.

Any suggestions?

thanks

Hi notlongago,

Top of my head; you can place python commands into the 'python' tab of any write node. So you could be sourcing a module.procedure from disk, which makes the necessary changes to your script before/after each render.
You might want to think about joining the PyNuke mailing list; might be a quicker response :)

Cheers,
Jordan

If you have Nuke open, the fastest way to get to the mailing list home page is to go to Help -> Mailing Lists.

As for your original question, have a look at the "callbacks" section of the documentation.
