Hello,
I have created a scene with sceneChanger. One of scene building rules is to end each scene with a out TOP. My scene ends with a container COMP.
A container COMP cannot be connected to an out TOP. How the scene still be ended with an out TOP ? Do I have to place the out TOP somewhere before the container COMP ? Or can the container COMP be transformed somehow into a TOP operator ?
If your comp ends with a top on the inside, you can put an outTOP in there, then connect it to an outTOP at the scene level. If not, you can use an OP Viewer TOP to convert the viewer of any operator (your COMP in this case) into a TOP, then connect that to an outTOP.
Just another note - if you are trying to blend between different Container COMPs, sceneChanger won’t do that for you, it just blends TOPs. While you can use the OP Viewer TOP as Ivan mentioned, you’ll only get a TOP-image version of your Container Panel and you won’t be able to interact with that Panel.
Thank you, @ben, for this point. It is very useful because I have 8 scenes of which 3 end with TOPs and the rest with container COMPs where I have to interact with them. I will better not use scenechanger but somehow connect each scene with code.
Would you say that this is a good approach ? Or would you recommend something else ?
Yeah, switching or fading containers is slightly different than what sceneChanger is setup for. You could modify scenes to do it, using the play parameter on each scene to control Panel Display and/or opacity, but it may constrain you depending on what yo are trying to do. For panels I would probably build my own switching system in CHOPs or with python.
