SCRIPTING COMMAND FOR "DISPLAY SHADOW RANGE"

Hello,

does anybody know how to display the shadow range with a scripting command? I'd like to create an annual animation that shows for each day the shadow range from sunrise to sunset.

Thank you very much
Mauro.

Script for Shadow Range

Mauro,

You can use this script I am attaching.
There isn't a script command per say for shadow range, but if you set it first in the Shadow Settings and go to the OpenGl screen, it should work with the OPenGl command "opengl.flag shadow".
Also, you have the option to check the " Apply Shadow Setting" option in the OpenGl screen, so that your morning shadows will show up blue and the afternoon's red.
You may want to tweak the script a bit; I have it set for each 21st of the months, but you could easily have it done for every single days using the command " for julianday 1,365 do..."

Each shot is saved as a bitmap in your script folder. Using Adobe Image Ready, you can create an animated gift rapidely.
Hope that helps.
