render-slitscan

A python script to generate a slit-scan animation from a PNG sequence.

Usage

>>> python3 SLITSCAN.py -h
usage: SLITSCAN.py [-h] [-r] [-o .] input_dir width height

positional arguments:
  input_dir             input folder
  width                 Width of the resulting image.
  height                Height of each slice

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -r, --reverse
  -o ., --output-dir .  Optional output directory

• input is the path to the folder containing the PNG sequence
• width will be the width of the finished image. Normally this is the same as all your source image's width
• height is the height of each slice. The lower this value is, the better the "resolution" of the finished image will be.
• reverse will reverse the building direction of the image
• output-dir is used to set a different output path than the project folder Example: python3 SLITSCAN.py -h

Notes

• This app only supports PNG-images as input. Therefore it should be at the very end of your post-processing workflow.

Roadmap

• Different orders (left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top)
• example scenes for common render engines
