Vray 5 - New Frame Buffer Maxscript Access?

[dans]

I was happy to find a bakeLayersToLUT function in the manager (was done via vfbControl #saveglobalccpreset before).

How to enable/disable all Display Corrections (eyeball besides Display Correction in the UI)?
How to enable/disable specific layers (e.g. Background)? I did not find a property for this in the layer manager.

Using the same code as in my previous post:

mgr.displayCorrectionLayer.profile = 0  --this isn't exactly what you asked, but it's equivalent in effect, in that it disables all display corrections

I've inquired as to the display property itself, which seems indeed missing.

[dans]

mgr.displayCorrectionLayer.profile = 0 sets display corrections to None, but it doesn't turn off all color corrections and effects in the layer tree below it as the eyeball switch does in the UI.

[^Lele^]

ah, indeed.
Well, the interface to show and hide will be coming in a hotfix soon.
It only needed to be exposed, and was somehow left behind.

Will poke you as it's in the nightlies, if you have access.

Oh! Finally!!!!!!!

dans we now have the layers' ".enabled" property in the nightlies from today (30651).

mgr.displayCorrectionLayer.enabled = false

KramSurfer we also have new methods to store and read layersets to and from JSON strings, which you may find useful.

--storing
myJSONString = (mgr.saveLayersToJSON()) --get the layout in a string

--reading
mgr.loadLayersFromJSON myJSONString --reads the layout from a JSON string

^Lele^ is there a way to check if the VFB has any image data loaded?

I am trying to avoid the error "Image required while saving LUT preset!"

[^Lele^]

vrayVFBGetNumChannels()

returns 0 if no image is present.

[olly]

vrayVFBGetNumChannels()

returns 0 if no image is present.

Perfect thank you!

[^Lele^]

Perfect thank you!

He is so proactive he messaged me the answer before i knew there was a question (and i ain't joking!).
