V-Ray tools

[vlado]

Hello,

I've collected together the tools that we have released outside of the official V-Ray installations (the VRayFur styler, VRayColor2Bump, VRayBump2Normal, blendimg) along with recompiles for 3ds Max 2012 at
http://www.spot3d.com/vray/misc/

Best regards,
Vlado

Thanks Vlado

Cheers,

[Morne]

Thanks! You're the man
Any time to release those LUT files for VFB yet?

[zeronove]

thanks a lot
well done

[kiteman]

Vlado, thank you very much. It is really appreciated

[savio alvares]

thanks alot

vlado, where can i find the maxscript parameters to access vray camera DOF and Mblur, stereohelper on/off, shademap mode, etc.
id like to make a maxscript utility to speed up shademap process

[Dave_Wortley]

You can get all the parameters of everyting in max by using the showproperties function:

Examples:

Showproperties (VrayPhysicalCamera())
Showproperties renderers.current
showproperties (VRayStereoscopic())
showproperties (VrayMtl())

etc...

thank you dave, that was very helpful!

i have just made a complete vray cam and shademap helper, a utility i will release in a couple days

could you help me, id like to know the code on how to select the current selection (camera) target

so i have a cam selected and want to select the target do u know how thats possible?

thanks

[Dave_Wortley]

Easy...

getnodebyname (($.name) + ".target")

[phizikl]

thanks dave ill try that, i did get it to work with select o.target

question, how can i access vray renderer through max script?

vray camera no problem,

but now im trying to control some render settings with maxscript

on spn_Region changed val do
(
for o in renderers.current do o.system_region_x = val
)

the renderers.current does not work

 fn updateControls =
		   (
				local theSelectedRenderer = getrenderers.current
				-- local enableInViewport = 0
				
				
				local min = 0
				local max2 = 0
				local noise2 = 0
				local adaptive2 = 0
				local samples = 0
				local chk_stamp = 1
				local multi = 0
				local memory2 = 0
				local region = 0
				local gamma = 0
				
				
				
				
				for o in theSelectedRenderer do
		  
					(
						if o.twoLevel_baseSubdivs > spn_Min do spn_Min = o.twoLevel_baseSubdivs
						if o.twoLevel_fineSubdivs > spn_Max do spn_Max = o.twoLevel_fineSubdivs
						--if o.f_number > spn_Noise do spn_Noise = o.f_number
						if o.dmc_earlyTermination_amount > spn_Adaptive do spn_Adaptive = o.dmc_earlyTermination_amount
						if o.dmc_earlyTermination_minSamples > spn_Samples do spn_Samples = o.dmc_earlyTermination_minSamples
					
						
						if o.system_frameStamp_on do chk_stamp+=1 
						
						if o.dmc_subdivs_mult > spn_Multi do spn_Multi = o.dmc_subdivs_mult
						if o.system_raycaster_memLimit > spn_Memory do spn_Memory = o.system_raycaster_memLimit
						if o.system_region_x  > spn_Region do spn_Region = o.system_region_x 
						if o.colorMapping_gamma > spn_Gamma do spn_Gamma = o.colorMapping_gamma
						-- if o.enableViewportMesh do  enableInViewport+=1
					)
			
				)
					on spn_Region changed val do
					(
					 for o in renderers.current do o.system_region_x  = val
					)

[phizikl]

it doesnt seem to be the same method controlling vray cam than renderer

Showproperties (VrayPhysicalCamera())
Showproperties renderers.current

?

any help appreciated

[Dave_Wortley]

on spn_Region changed val do
(
for o in renderers.current do o.system_region_x = val
)

That won't work.... renderers.current returns the object Vray renderer... not an array of values to loop through... you can get all the properties by using:
showproperties renderers.current

and then all you need to do is write....
renderers.current.system_region_x = val

I usually use this:
vr = renderers.current

so that when writing a long script I only have to write
vr.system_region_x = val
etc

VrayFur Styler:
I cant find a way to install it or use it?
I guess I am missing here something...

And are there anywhere practical Video Tutorials that shows how to create things with Fur and the Styler?
