Framecycler as defaut flipbook

[rcmaniac25]

Has anyone managed to use framecycler as their flipbook in shake 3.5? I can get it to launch by adding the flipbook.h file to the include directory, but the frames don't load into it.

would you be able to post the script that allows framecycler to become your default flipbook, ide like to see how that one works

Still don't know how to make the images load into it. To get it to boot is pretty simple, put a flipbook.h file in your include/startup directory with these contents -

gui.externalFlipbookPath = "/mnt/apps/fc_mp_pro_300_rc3/bin/framecycler";
gui.flipbookStdInArg = "";
gui.flipbookExtraArgs = "";
gui.flipbookZoomArg = "";
gui.flipbookTimeArg = "";
gui.flipbookFPSArg = "";

Obviously the path to framecyler is probably different for you. This straight from the manual.

Any one got the answer to getting images in??

i just added two lines on osx into a fc.h file and put it into .../include/statup/..

change the full path to your framecycler. hope that helps!

gui.externalFlipbookPath = "/Applications/FrameCycler.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/FrameCycler";
gui.flipbookStdInArg = "-";

I should specify that this is for linux not mac. We can't get the mac framecycler yet. And the "-" stdin flag doesn't work for that.
