Exporting snapshots via Python scripts

Jonas_BromandFuchs

Hello all,

I often need to take snapshots of my scenes and have tried to write a small python script, which would automatically export all my bookmarks. But when running the script nothing happens (or at least the directory is still empty).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The full script goes as follows:

'''
Created on 14/09/2017

@author: JBF
'''
from scripting import *
import View3D

# get a CityEngine instance
ce = CE()

def exportImages(directory, Tag=""):
   views = ce.get3DViews()
      for v in views:
         for b in v.getBookmarks():
            path = directory + "\_" + str(b) + str(v) + str(viewports.index(v)) + "_" + Tag + "_raw.png"
            v.restoreBookmark(b, False)
            v.snapshot(path)

if __name__ == '__main__':
   exportImages("N:\CityEngine_workspace110517\Sportsparken\images\Testmappe")

Hello Thomas,

Thanks again. I must have been looking to long to spot the error.

Also great tip (albeit obvious for more experienced users than me) to see the log for details.

My script is working now.
