Bonjour,

J’ai bien le dossier Frames qui se crée mais aucune image…

# These scripts were created by Epic Games Slovakia, who doesn't carry any liability in case issues related to the sample occur.

import subprocess
import time
import math
import os

frameFolder=os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"frames")
if not os.path.exists (os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"frames")):
    # Create a new directory because it does not exist 
  os.makedirs(os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"frames"))
  print("made a frames folder for you")
  
subprocess.Popen([r"C:\Program Files\Capturing Reality\RealityCapture\RealityCapture.exe", '-setInstanceName','-stdConsole'])

time.sleep(15)

camFocal = 70

num_points = 4  # Number of points on the circle

for i in range(num_points):

    x = loopRadius * math.cos(math.radians(angle))
    y = loopRadius * math.sin(math.radians(angle))
    camXpos = XLookAt + x
    camYpos = YLookAt + y
    #print(f"X: {x:.4f} Y: {y:.4f}")
    framePath=os.path.join(frameFolder,"frame"+str(i)+".png")
    print(framePath)

    print (cmdlist)

    subprocess.Popen(cmdlist, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr = subprocess.STDOUT, universal_newlines=True)

Hi Boilatas,
I tested your script and it worked for me.
Do you have also opened RealityCapture project from which you want to create the images?
