Playblast Plus - v1.4.2

v1.42 Changelog (2023-06-20)

Description - One bug fix and extra templates for rigging previews

Upgrade Steps

• Overwrite the local or network install folder.
• Unzip folder to new location or version folder. Point the PYTHONPATH to this new version folder

Bug Fixes

• Noticed an issue with a new maya install if the gpuCache plugin wasn't enabled. Seems reasonable to ask to switch it on and then do this so it can work correctly. The issue was that capture.py wouldn't filter the gpucachedisplayfilter from the template if the plugin wasn't loaded.

plugins = cmds.pluginDisplayFilter(query=True, listFilters=True)

This would result in an empty list, meaning the template would error.

Other potential fixes -

• Could easily prune this from the dictionary manually. But I'd rather leave capture.py as it is and add the code to maya_preview.pre_process
• remove "viewport_options": {"gpuCacheDisplayFilter": true} from the stock templates

Other Changes

• Added a studio_rigging_joints_visible and studio_rigging_visible template to render animation setups. These show control shapes only and controls shapes and joints.
