    cebas psd-manager 2.0 with vray support?

    http://www.cebas.com/news/read.php?NID=179

    "Support for all VRay 1.5 render elements"

    and 16bit support..i liked version 1 but output was limited to 8bit.
    the new version looks interesting.

    It's lovely, but i can see clearly from the videos that there are issues with AA when the image's picked up in photoshop... (check the shadows' contact with the object, for instance...)
    Wouldn't know which side they are dependent on, most likely coming from Fr, but that stuff makes it pretty hard to use effectively...

      well, in my opinion AA isn't that important for stills...it's all hi res and where bad AA is clearly visible (screen, web) the image is sampled down anyway.
      for prints, i saw some wild upsampled plots with horrible AA, and nobody cared. it's one of those things only us nerds care about.

      it's very a different issue with animation, where everything flickers when the sampling isn't right.

        There is no psd-manager related AA issue. psd-manager does not modify the render element the renderer provides (despite output options like premultiplied to straight alpha conversion depending on the render element type, which is customizable too). So either this artefact was already present in the fR render element itself or the layer was accidently nudged around. The video actually shows psd-manager 1.1.1 (that's why there is no 16 bit option in the UI).

        Here is a screenshot of psd-manager 2.0 usd with V-Ray RC3. This is the straight output using psd-manager, only some layers were hidden in Photoshop and the Diffuse Filter layer was copied once (above RawShadow).

          Ah-ah, yes. thanks so much for the answer.
          In fact, the other videos don't show that issue anymore (took me a LONG while to download them... must have been a long awaited release ).
