Storyboard rendering

01 Jun 2008I know this is possible in max but I haven't done this since way back on version 2, so I totally forgot how
what I need is to render all my frames on one big image, with each frame one after the other. -
01 Jun 2008Found a way to do it with Photoshop, using photoshop contact sheet II automated task but it doesn't keep my alpha, that's why I'd love to be able to do it max

01 Jun 2008You can save your sequence out to an .flm (filmstrip) filetype. THAT being said...you can't do this out of max (as far as I know)...but you can do it out of premiere or after effects (I think it might be a proprietary adobe filetype)
This can then be loaded into photoshop and it will appear as a big film sheet (ie....all frames cascaded into 1 image)
Random fact of the day.....I used to go about compositing things this way. I'd save my video out of premiere and then load it up as a filmstrip in photoshop, then paint out props and wires and things manually!
Silly me. -

jemi 37 posts12 Jun 2008I do this sort of thing at work all the time. We use these kinds of things in games quite a lot. They are called Filmstrips, Flipbooks, or Atlas Textures, depending on who you ask. I have some custom photoshop scripts that take a specified folder of images, then they create a big long strip using those images. From there, you run another script that chops up your long image sequence into a square page of images.
Unfortunately the script is in-house only, NDA's and such.. So I cant provide a whole lot of insight on it. There might be something laying around the web..
Now that I think about it, nVidia has a util called AtlasCreationTools, made specifically for this, and it's a public tool you can find on their site somewhere.
