Problems with GLOB_FRAME_NR

[Anonymous]

I am having a problem getting the results of using the GLOB_FRAME_NR parameter to show up in an animation. What I am trying to do is get lights to flash.

I have thoroughly checked the script and am sure that it is working properly. The light does go on and off according to the conditions I set. The animation process (Create Fly-Through) IS recalculating the model for each frame. (I checked this in the report window.) BUT...

The lights are modeled (on or off) according to the setting of the first frame in the animation and do not change after that. They should be flashing according to parameters I have set in the script. I have tried this in LightWorks and the internal engine with the same results. It seems that the recalculation (though reported) isn't actually having any effect on the parts.

I'm pretty sure I have done everything possible to make this work. So I am guessing I have run into some sort of bug, but just want to throw this out there in case there's something I'm missing. Or even if someone knows if this is a bug and of what sort.

Hi Matthew,

I'm sorry to hear about your problem. It is really frustrating and makes the rendering impossible. I'd really appreciate if you could send a simplified reproduction of the problem through GS TechSupport after your deadlines. Our simple models seem to work - there may be some problem with complexity...

Regards,
