Script to rename renders (all OS's) & denoise (linux)

[kalamadeasidhe]

I'm very new to coding, but I made a really quick script. I've been rendering out a "quick" animation of my logo with indigo to see how it would look. You can't set the output frame name or number or anything, so I wrote this script that will rename all files of a type in a directory to a seqential, numbered sequence. It's easier to import them into a video editing program as a sequence this way. I have them set to use the naming scheme I am used to while using houdini. If this is a problem, I can change it or...I'm sure the script is simple enough that anyone could easily change whatever about it. It plays back great to me.

Example of use:
tclsh renameanddenoise.tcl /home/dee/Devel/indigo_06/renders/frames2 png

http://www.davidhipp.com/scripts/renameanddenoise.tcl
http://www.davidhipp.com/scripts/rename ... tcl.tar.gz

I edited the script so it now uses GREYCstoration_linux to denoise the files. The originals will be renamed just like the original and GREYCstoration_linux will be called (assuming it is in /usr/bin or /bin and call be run from a command line by simply typing GREYCstoration_linux) to denoise each file. If you haven't tried GREYCstoration, try it. It's great.
You can get GREYCstoration from:
http://www.greyc.unicaen.fr/~dtschump/greycstoration/
If you want to use it, simple add the command:
denoise

And you can control the output file name instead of it always being render.#.extension
example:
tclsh renameanddenoise.tcl /home/dudeman/3d/indigo_06/renders/frames png outputfilename

with the total being:

tclsh renameanddenoise.tcl /home/dudeman/3d/indigo_06/renders/frames png outputfilename denoise

It will then make two files, the original render, renamed and all that, and the denoised file.

I don't use windows much, but I changed the original code in here to use no linux commands for renaming the files. If you use windows, renaming should work.

Hy kalamadeasidhe,

Thanks also for this contribution
Just a curious question, why TCL, I like it also very much , I just thaught people knowing TCL and developping with TCL today are like dynosauria

Hahaha, I picked TCL because I'm still learning and it's the first think I've learned. TCL is used often in conjunction with maya and renderman (renderman accepts the output of tcl code while in slim) at my school, so those who learn RSL, learn TCL. Is it really not used much now? We were told it's used often by shader developers.

wow! nice script! thanks kalamadeasidhe

Thanks! As soon as I figure out how to make gui's, I'll add a gui to it.

I'm very glad to see a man who develop in TCL. I have programmed in TCL for 5 years vary GUIs for a Firm. And I know how powerful it can be! But it could be a problem for Windows user, because they have to install a TCL interpreter.
Keep on develop a GUI! And good luck!
