Confirming - vray frame buffer only way to render elements from stereo eyes?

[joconnell]

Hi Folks,

I'm doing my first stereo job (ugh) in max 2014 and I wanted to check - it seems like the vray frame buffer is the only way to get elements out for the stereoscopic helper. If I try to render using the normal max output so I can have separate sequences for each element, they're only coming out with one eye of the camera and not both like the beauty pass is. Is it possible to do this using the helper or will I have to use two cameras and set off two separate renders instead?

Cheers!

John

What file format are you saving to? Do you use the "Adjust resolution" option for the stereo helper?

Best regards,

Yep, going out to exr and adjust res ticked on with the stereo helper. Here's the beauty and the diffuse filter showing the res issue:





And the max file that made them - vray 3.005 and max 2014 x64 base version - no service packs or subscription stuff.

Hi,

Actually yes, it works for the VFB only. We will try to fix it for the 3ds Max FB too.

All good - I'll have a look at the 3dsmax subscription update and see what options it gives us too.

Hi again,

Small update on this case.
We have fixed this issue and most probably the fix will be added to the next 3.0 service pack.

Awesome, much appreciated Tashko.
