Render Vray Elements with MXS

[kenc]

I am having a lot of trouble scripting vray render elements. This is what I have

re = maxOps.GetCurRenderElementMgr()
re.SetDisplayElements FALSE
theManager = maxOps.GetRenderElementMgr #Production
re.addrenderelement (VRayDiffuseFilter elementname"VRayDiffuseFilter"))
re.SetRenderElementFilename (0) ("C:\\DIFFUSEFILTER.PNG")

If I run this snippet and hit the render button, I get a 'scrambled' image. If I manually add the 'VRayDiffuseFilter' element and set the image path, it renders correctly. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Sorry, posted in wrong forum. Should be in MAX forum. Could this be moved to VRAY Public Forum?

Thank you for moving this thread.

When I open the 'scramnbled' image in Photoshop, it says that it's a bitmap, but opening the good image in Photoshop says, Layer 0, 8 bit RGB.
