"Lele's VRay Tools" Script Pack:Realtime Sky Added

[tricky]

Amazing! Could you tell me if the exposimeter will animate the ISO (or shutter speed) over the length of the camera path?

[^Lele^]

Oh yeah, it does.
ReRender bugged me so much i had to add it

You'd better read the infos on scriptspot about that feature, as it may lead to flickering if you have it expose each frame (like in real world dSLR cameras and stop-motion)

[RErender]

heheh, good to know all my bugging has benefited someone else

Another issue to watch out for is that merging imaps created with very different exposures of the same scene may in some instances cause splotches.

I LOVE LELE !

Matrix Exposimeter

It seems your Matrix Exposimeter doesn't work with 1.5 SP1. I am getting an error:

[^Lele^]

i haven't installed the sp1 yet.
It's well possible as some things might have changed name.
For the time being, if you switch to "keep current settings" it should work.

[^Lele^]

and would whoever has an avatar on "whitebirchstudios" please host it somewhere else?
It's annoying to have the login dialog pop up every time i refresh a page.

to grab the new pack.
There has been a few tweaks here and there (vraylightmonkey for one) to reflect the newer changes.
Use it with care, and report bugs.

Lele i've download and installed update but realtime sky and matrix exposimeter don't work.

I've noted that other working lele's script create a .mse file for each script inside Macroscript directory but realtimeSky and MatrixExposimeter not.

I've create a button on a toolbar for each script and when I press RS or ME anything appear...and no message of errors.

what do you think?

[^Lele^]

i think i may have made some mistake with the installer.
Possibly a typo here or there.
Will double check, but it's quite typical of me, i'm afraid :P
Especially as they seem to work here...

[^Lele^]

err, you were, of course, very right, Marcatore.
I literally forgot to add the realtime sky script in the pack, while i had a different issue with the exposimeter.
Apparently it's all nicely fixed now, so go grab it again.

[bardo]

lele..uhm uhmm... i'm bardo not marcatore

anyway... now it seems all right.
I've downloaded and now it works.

thanks

[^Lele^]

lol, and right there too, of course
Yeah well, we somehow know each other

Physcam DoF Preview Added!

IMPROVED:Physcam Auto-Focus:Finds the closest object surface directly in front of the camera, and focuses the VRay Physical Camera to it. Added DoF Preview rendering (near-realtime) for Physical Cameras which have been created with the Physcam Converter Script (so physical cameras parented to, and overlapping perfectly, a standard one) .
The function works only under Max2008, due to the fact that previos viewport grabbing methods would refresh the framebuffer before grabbing, losing the DoF effect. Implementation for earlier versions is possible and under study.
A drawback of the new grabbing method, though, is that you'll have to have the current viewport (the one selected just before pressing the script button, any viewport will do.) free of dialog boxes and such, as the grab will read from video memory and grab those as well.
For this reason, the script now pops up in the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of your screen, away from what's normally the camera view.

Enjoy and report bugs, hey!

P.S.: only the DoF Preview is limited to max 2008. the script works as normal for every other max version (7-9).
