Render frames of an animation
render_contact_sheetRead-only
Frames of the design's animation tiled into one PNG, left to right and top to bottom: evenly spaced frames from start to end, or exact times. One call checks a whole animation; a design without a timeline gives one frame. Returns the times shown. For one moment at full size use render_design with time. Previews are PNGs at most 800 px on the longest side, with a faint repeating "Kalpana preview" mark. The mark is only on previews; the design, its exports and batch renders do not have it, and sample_points read the design's own colours. Zoom with region or node_id to check small text or detail.
