If the plugin uses tsxRenderAViewRectangleToFile() (I assume it does :) ), then it might be useful to know that this function was introduced in 6.5 (on a request by me to distribute rendering using tSNet). I use GetProcAddress() to find it, rather than relying upon it being linked in, so that I do not have to worry about earlier versions failing to load the tsx, fwiw.

Chamaeleon, thanks for the usefull tips again :banana:


Naes3D, that's error appear because I use "tsxRenderAViewRectangleToFile()".

And as the infomation from Chamaeleon, this function was started introduce in tS6.5.

Don't worry Naes3D, I'll try to make it run on your tS5.1 by using "GetProcAddress()" as suggestion from Chamaeleon (hope I success with GetProcAddress() function because I never used it before). And if this is work, you can run update of this plugin on your tS5.1 with max 8191x8191pixels render to file size.


Daybe,SteveBe, and Emmanuel: Glad to know this simple plugin usefull.

Thanks Johny. You have been 'repped'.


EDIT


If I check rendertofile the save dialog comes up but after choosing save it comes back with an error (incorrect file type) unless I actually add the file extension.

PS: If you hate to type the file extension by yourself, I'll add code for make it auto add extension on next update :D

Ah ! The split option ! Great for picture protection !
Thanks a lot Johny :banana::banana::banana:

An option to manually set the splits size would be welcome though. Perhaps for next release ? :)

Thanks for suggestion Emmanuel! :)
There're no plan for add split size variable. Because it's not posible to make contant split size. For example with render size 100x100 pixel and split size set to 60x60 we'll get four region: 60x60 split size, 40x60 slipt size, 40x60 split size, and 40x40 split size. Not fix 60x60 split size.
But there're already have nxn split numbers code backup for commercial version not for free version. :D

PS: source code of beta version 3 still available for free on above link. :)
