VizArtist Tip | How to save your scene when Viz Artist crashes / hangs.

Here's a quick tip that might help if Viz Artist crashes but the console window is still responding.

In the console window, type:

Code:

send REND GET_OBJECT

You will get back the viz id of the scene that you are working on. Let's presume for now that the viz id of our scene is 1234. Type the following into the console window:

Code:

send #1234*LOCATION_PATH GET

This gives us the full path of our scene. We can use this to save our scene. Let's pretend that the console returned the following:

SCENE*Voo/Project/Scenes/Scene001

Type the following into the console window:

Code:

send SCENE*Voo/Project/Scenes/Scene001 SAVE

This will save the scene. You can now re-launch Viz Artist and continue with your work without having to painstakingly redo any work that you would have otherwise lost!
