Of course, you can change the default value, the name of the increasing variable, or the amount it increments each frame, but you will need to do a bit of math to figure out how many frames to export.
Look at any animation example in your NodeBox folder. They all have a global variable, cnt, that increments by 0.1 at the end of the draw function. Note that if you simply add the line
cnt += 0.1Python will raise an error because cnt is not yet defined. You need to make it a global variable by adding the lineglobal cntto the begining of the draw and setup functions, and then add the linecnt = 0somewhere inside setup.

There's also the FRAME global variable that keeps track of the current frame number, but apparently that was nowhere documented (I've added it to the Variables doc now).
Movie Question
Posted by alx on Jul 10, 2007Hiya,
very simple question: Is it possible to have a variable increment smoothly for every frame of an exported movie, so that you could render evolving patterns etc.
