Hey there,

I've been trying to overlay some info onto the render outputs so that the Artists can see frame length, data output size and the attributes(needs to be all attributes) they have changed.

So far I've had no luck.

I was trying to use:

…What was posted here but it doesn't seem to work for me.

also I'm a nobe…so will need some hand holding

I attached a hip for people to see.

Hi there,

So I've fixed the python script node part of the graph, it was using the wrong syntax:

# Print Work Item Name, Index and Attribute
print “name: ” + work_item.name
print “index: ” + str(work_item.index)

attrib = floatData(work_item, “scale”)
if attrib:
print “attrib: ” + str(attrib)


However, I couldn't get any further with the rest of the cook because it needs Arnold render and we don't have that installed here. So far as we can tell, you are doing it right in the ROP Composite node:

Frame Number $F
scale = `@scale`
parameter = `@scalechannel`

Can you maybe give us a test file that doesn't use Arnold (eg. Mantra)? We can then get further with helping you.
