This is for the Windows guys. Sometime ago Torsten supplied the script bellow. I had Cygwin installed and tried to run the script without success due to errors, even after changing type files in Notepad to Unix/OS type. Then I quit for some time. Yesterday I installed msys2 and ran the script without any problem. Then I returned to Cygwin and after some Googling I discovered that I had to run the "dos2unix" utility which I did, and after that the script start working. Conclusion there are some differences between "msys2" and "cygwin" in what concerns "dos/windows" type files. ---snip---snap---snip---snap---snip---snap---snip---snap---snip---snap---- #!/bin/bash STEPS=200 PATTERN=%04d.png for a in $(seq 0 $STEPS) do FILE=$(printf "$PATTERN" $a) echo "$FILE" openscad \ --imgsize=1920,1080 \ --camera=0,0,0,60,0,40,300 \ "-D\$t=$a/$STEPS" \ -o "$FILE" animation.scad \ >/dev/null 2>&1 done ffmpeg -i "$PATTERN" -c:v libx264 -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p animation.mp4 ---snip---snap---snip---snap---snip---snap---snip---snap---snip---snap---- jpmendes -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/About-animation-just-for-the-record-just-for-Windows-users-tp16733.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
