Export Sheep - Apophysis Script
12th June 2008
Edit 23 June 2008
Last version available on my Scripts page.
Edit 15 June 2008
Uploaded the last version today.
Previous versions had some minor problems that let the created sheeps not completely compatible with ES servers. Please replace the old version using this one!
This script Export the current selected flame to file compatible for ES (ElectricSheep) server submission.
ExportSheep has a very simple usage: it exports the currently selected flame to a new file that is compatible to ES server submission.
Using ExportSheep you don’t have to modify the flame you want upload to by hand anymore; simply upload the generated file.
The script deals with the whole creation process by its own; it also checks for proper Variations and “kills” the unsupported ones.
It displays the preview of the generated file so you can check the current selected flame against the generated one.
It’s available in two versions:
Export Sheep s2.6 for the current server
and
Export Sheep s2.7 for the upcoming 2.7 server
The 2.7 version uses three parameters located end of the main comment: render width, height and quality. They’re value is equal to the actual beta server one but they can be changed when the server will switch to the final stage.
The script is actually in testing-stage; it works ok, as far as I can see, but there’d still be some minor faults in it. Use it at your own risk.

I’m new to Apophysis 2.02.
I wanted to cut and paste it to my script to (Apophysis 2.02) and I can’t do it.
Is there a fix fo that? Or how should I enter your script in my AP2.02?
You can see my Apophysis on the YouTube:

Hi, Ken
ExportSheep script needs Apophysis 2.06 or newer versions due to the usage of some new scripting functions not supported in the original 2.02 version.
You can download the 2.07 version here: Apophysis 2.07
Save the .exe file in the folder where you’ve already installed Apophysis and run the new one.
Save ExportSheep to the Scripts folder then use the Apo’s Script menu to open and run it; you can also use “Manage Favorites” to have it available directly in the menu for next runs.
Hope it helps a little.

Hi Leonardo,
as far as I can see you need an all-in-one software that can produce most of the studio’s FXs by its own and in a quite simple way.
I’m afraid that nothing like this still exists.
You can try some NLE software like AfterEffect, DigitalFusion or even some 3D software like Maya, LightWave, Cinema4D or 3DMax.
All of them could require some extra plugins and they’re both quite expensive and not so easy to use.
Then about Apophysis… it’s free (GPL).
