Question

Scripting Limits

Is it possible to code a completely customized node from scratch in Designer (I wish to reference a graphics API)? If not, then is it possible to write some plugin or script to take the image output of a node to be used with a graphics API, and pass the image output of that API as the input of another node in Designer? I haven't figured out how to accomplish this with Pixel Processor (as it only takes mathematical operations to be run in parallel for every pixel), or with FX-Map (since I'm not working with repetitive patterns). Any alternative suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi @auz35569550d4yr,

 

Thanks for the question.

 

It's not possible to inject images directly with scripting, but the great @Luca Giarrizzo has offer an indirect solution:

 

  • Create an Output X node and connect it to the node that generates the input image for its image processing.
  • Save the graph
  • Publish the graph in SBSAR with SBSCooker
  • Export the SBSAR Output X only with SBSRender
  • Perform image processing with your graphics API on the resulting image
  • Import the result into the graph as a Bitmap node
  • Connect the Bitmap node to the next node
  • Delete the Output X node

 

Hope this helps!
