maxscript + vray buffer

[QuakeMarine1]

hi
I need to detect vray frame buffer region render on/off
is there a secret cmd to do so ?
renderers.current.output_rendertype
is not the one I am looking for

thx

I don't know of any way to access the vray FB from maxscript, myself.
Unless something has changed very recently, that is.

We have been burned badly by submitting to the farm forgetting the region was on.
We have a host of maxscript based checks, but this one is not possible yet. Perhaps more
people asking for it will help.

I doubt it's down to Vlado's will to fix it.
When i last asked, the issue rested squarely within the max SDK.

I have a small plugin that adds a MaxScript command to do that; will post it here a bit later today.

Best regards,

Genius!
Since we're at it, any chance to extend the plugin to encompass the other properties of the vfb?

Yes Please! Seconding maxscript support for VFB!

[LPRay]

YES! got burned a few time by that already :P

was just chatting on the Rpmanager forum about getting errors because of the render region and log onto chaosgroup and an answer is already on the way, great timing

[QuakeMarine1]

Vlado - EndUserEvent 2010 - Any news on the maxscript dll yet?!!

[vlado]

Yes, it is done; just compiling it for all the different 3ds Max versions now.

Here it is. NOTE: works only for SP5! Check out the readme.

Just curious Vlado, why did you release this as a seperate plugin, instead of including it with the regular Vray installation?
