Auto extract multi-layer exr

[pg1]

I rendered a still image using distributive rendering, was awesome..soo many buckets! It saved out a multi-layer exr. (from the vray frame buffer) but although I had save separate elements ticked also, it didn't save the separate elements.
I now have a multi-layered exr. and need to extract the individual elements.
While I could shuffle them out of nuke there are a lot of them and was wondering if there is a tool to automate this process post render, like the vrimg2exr.exe except more like layerexr2split.exe?

If you have the ProEXR plugin for photoshop you can set up a batch to export out the elements

did exactly that with Nuke but thanks I had forgotten about that little gem of a plugin
Now I can just do the whole thing is Photoshop.
Thanks

You should be able to use both option at same time and save the Raw multichannel EXR file with separate render elements.
Could you provide more details about your setup, V-ray version, OS, 3DS Max?

However, if you render just a still image, you can always save all render channels through V-Ray Frame buffer (the three diskettes button)

I was using both at the same time.
Not sure why but initially I rendered without DR and got the multilayer and separate elements.
When I turned on DR I only got the multilayer......but and I am not sure what I did after a few renders I started to get DR multi layer AND separate elements so alls good in the end.

Thank you for the update, I'm glad to hear that it works now as expected.

but and I am not sure what I did after a few renders I started to get DR multi layer AND separate elements so alls good in the end.

It's odd thing here, should work by default.
