Purpose
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Images rendered by DazStudio (except .jpg) contain a
transparency map or Alpha channel. Everything in the image
not occupied by an object or figure is deemed transparent.
Using a "compositing" utility you can combine a rendered
(foreground) image with a second (background) image.
This script will build a batch (.bat) file that in turn will
repeatedly run the compositing utility and combine two
series of images into one.
The batch (.bat) files generated by this script may not be
compatible with Mac and Unix OSes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should place the present script (compoZ.ds) and the associated
icon image (compoZ.png) in your daz studio script folder, usually
C:\Program Files\Daz\Studio\Contents\Script
Although other utilities could be used for image compositing,
this script was designed with ImageMagick in mind.
So first you need to get and install the free imaging suite
ImageMagick which you can get from the official web site:
http://www.imagemagick.org
You only need to install the windows binaries located here:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows

User manual

=========================================================
=========================================================
Section 1 : Background Images
=========================================================
In this section you specify the location of the numbered images that will be used
as background images in the compositing process.
Using Daz Studio you can render an animation as a series of numbered images.
Using freeware like VirtualDub or almost any movie editor, you can convert
a video (avi mpg etc) into a series of numbered images.
As an example we will consider the case where you created 100 numbered
background images and placed them in a folder named C:\job001\bkgpics
The images are all prefixed "pic". The image numbers are padded with 3 zeros.
-----> pic001.png, pic002.png, pic003.png .... pic100.png,
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Loop Range Start Image Number"
and
"Loop Range End Image Number"
If the foreground animation lasts longer than the background image series, looping
will occur. Here you specify the looping range.
In our example, we should specify 1 as the "Loop Range Start Image Number"
and 100 for "Loop Range End Image Number"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First Image Used Number
The number of the first background image that will be composited with the first
forground image. Usually this number will be the same as the "Loop Range Start Image Number"
parameter ( 1 in our example ).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Filename prefix
In our example, the image prefix is pic
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
File Number Padding
Some programs output numbered image with "zero padding".
In our example (pic001.png) the filename numbers are padded with three zeros.
If your program outputs numbered images unpadded ( pic1.png) then set
File Number Padding to 0
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Image format
The background images dont need a transparency map, so all image formats
are allowed. Formats must be one of the many supported by Imagemagick
here's the most used bmp jpg png tga gif. Do not include the period/dot (.).
in our example, "Image Format" is png
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Path To Images
Location of the directory holding your series of background images.
The [...] button can be used to browse up to this directory. Note the absence
of a trailing backslash at the end of the path.
In our example, C:\job001\bkgpics
=========================================================
Section 2 : Foreground Images
=========================================================
In this section you specify the location of the numbered images that will be used
as foreground images in the compositing process.
Using Daz Studio you can render an animation as a series of numbered images.
And those images contain the required "alpha channel" or transparency map.
If the images supplied dont contain this feature ( example if you are trying to use jpg images)
the background images wont show through the foreground images
As an example we will consider the case where you created 300 numbered
background images and placed them in a folder named C:\job001\frgpics
The images are all prefixed "pic". The image numbers are padded with 3 zeros.
-----> pic000.png, pic001.png, pic002.png .... pic299.png,
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Start Frame " and "End Frame"
The range of foreground images that will be composited on top of the backround images
in our example, this could be 0 and 299
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Filename prefix
In our example, the image prefix is pic
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
File Number Padding
Some programs output numbered image with "zero padding".
In our example (pic000.png) the filename numbers are padded with three zeros.
If your program outputs numbered images unpadded ( pic0.png) then set
File Number Padding to 0
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Image format
The foreground images do need a transparency map, but other than that,
all 100 image formats supported by Imagemagick can be used
here's the most common: bmp jpg png tga gif.
Do not include the period/dot (.) in the "Image Format"
in our example, "Image Format" is png
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Path To Images
Location of the directory holding your series of foreground images.
The [...] button can be used to browse up to this directory. Note the absence
of a trailing backslash at the end of the path.
In our example, C:\job001\frgpics
=========================================================
Section 3 : Output Images (composited)
=========================================================
In this section you specify the location of the numbered images that will be
created by the compositing process.
As an example we will consider the case where you want to create
270 images numbered 30 to 299 and have them placed in a folder named
C:\job001\outpics
You want your images to be prefixed "pic".
You want your image numbers to be padded with 3 zeros.
-----> pic030.png, pic031.png, pic032.png .... pic299.png,
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First Frame Number
An offset for the image numbers of the files created by compositing.
In our example, "First Frame Number" is 30
In most cases you'll leave "First Frame Number" at 0
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Filename prefix
In our example, the image prefix is pic
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
File Number Padding
The composited images produced by the batch file (bat) built by this script
will usually be converted into a video file (avi mpg mov). Some programs
like bmptoavi or virtualdub require filename numbers to be "zero padded"
in our example we set the padding to 3
so our filenames will look like
-----> pic030.png, pic031.png, pic032.png .... pic299.png,
if the output format was bmp, these filenames would be usable for conversion to avi
using bmp2avi
if you dont want zer0-padding, then set "File Number Padding" to 0
-----> pic30.png, pic31.png, pic32.png ... ppic299.png,
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Image format
The composited images will not include a transparency map.
so all 100 image formats supported by Imagemagick can be used
here's the most common: bmp jpg png tga gif.
Do not include the period/dot (.) in the "Image Format"
in our example, "Image Format" is png
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Path To Images
Location of the directory that will be holding your series of composited images.
The [...] button can be used to browse up to this directory. You can also use this
browser to create new directories (folders).
Note the absence of a trailing backslash at the end of the path.
In our example, C:\job001\outpics
=========================================================
Section 4 : Batch File Creation
=========================================================
Here you specify how the batch (.bat) file will be created by this script
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Path To Compositing Utility
Specify where the compositing utility is located. Since i installed ImageMagick
in my C:\imagemagick directory, that the value i give to "Path To Compositing Utility"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Compositing formula (Advanced users)
If you have a good understanding of the compositing utilities you can
modify this formula
default value: composite -compose atop -geometry 640x480
the end part that reads 640x480 means that the foreground and background images
will be resized to 640 pixels by 480 pixels before being saved at this size
If your foreground images are 320x240 pixels, you probably want to change the formula to
composite -compose atop -geometry 320x240
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Path to the batch file created by this script
Specify the location of the directory where you want this sscript to create the compositing
batch (bat) file.
