Hi
I am a newbie in MotionBuilder and would like to know if it is possible to direct the render output to a FBO (frame buffer object) .

I need send the render to Nvidia SDI in real time.
Is it possible?

Any comment is welcome.

Thanks

Welcome to MotionBuilder!!

The available render output’s are Output Format: AVI, MOV, JPG, TGA, TIF, TIFF, YUV, SWF (Flash),

Does this help, I am wondering if you could do something with an FBX SDK exporter....

In fact, I should direct the render to a texture and then send that by SDI output.
I have read about this, and I think the way is using Open Reality.
I just would like to know if I could do this job easier, working on Python.

Thanks

My understanding is that the FBO would provide a synced and genlocked output of the viewer to an SDI output on the nvidia card - is that true?

I have seen a couple of requests in this regard and I am curious as to how many people are seeking such functionality?

Yes, that’s true.
The FBO is the target of the render and it is what is sent to SDI output, like on a Nvidia card. Just like send a texture.
I already have a system using this functionality, however, I have used Fbx export stuff.
Now, I would like to work inside of Motion Builder.
