Help with Thumbnail Mastery by DraagonStorm
On page 4 of the manual it says
Second: Select the presets to create thumbnails for: Under the Presets for Thumbnails' list.
What do we do if we do not have any presets. What type of presets are recommended for this script? Thank you in advance for any assistance with this script.
Comments
The script is to automatically generate thumbnails for a set of related files - if you don't have a set of files in need of thumbnails then you don't really need the script. What are you wanting to do?
Thank you for responding. I am well aware of the purpose of the script, that is why I purchased it. I would like to be able to ask DraagonStorm about the instructions provided. Netherworks has a similar script for Poser at RNDA and there are probably other scripts by other vendors somewhere online.
When the instructions reference presets, are those files I have already created and saved as .duf files or are the presets something else?
Prior to purchasing this product, I had been using a script I in PSP to load the files I had rendered(pngs), then the script resizes the png, adds a border and whatever informaton I have included in the script.
I feel it would really be nice if we could send emails directly to the vendor if we have a question about their product? This is an option or 3D sites offer and I thought Daz did the same at one time or another.
You can always send a Private Message to us thru the DAZ Forums.
As for what the presets are. They would be the .duf files that you have created, or want to use, to create your thumbnails for. (Material Presets and Pose Presets are the best examples)
With this script, it will loop thru the presets listed in the middle list... First loading the Scene file from the list on left, then applying the Preset, and then rendering the .png file to the location in the list on the right. If you have selected a background or overlay. The script will combine those with your rendered .png file and save that.
I have this program and now need to use it. I have redowloaded it to find the owners manual, I see no such manual in the zip file so not sure where that is. I need a basic how to to get this moving forward. Thank you!
