Vray3 maxscript full expert

[KiboOst]

Hi,

When reloading an old scene (vray2) all panels in vray3 are set to 'Basic', even if our maxstart or previous scene is all 'Expert'.
Is there a maxcript command to turn all panels in 'expert' each time we load a scene, automatically ?

An option to even totally disable these mode and being back to full expert always would even be better.

Regards,
Kib

Apart caustic param that doesn't do anything, other works :
Just put this in a startup script:

================
function setVRayExpert =
(
vr=renderers.current
vrName = vr as string
if findString vrName "V_Ray_Adv_3" != undefined then
(
rdropen = 0
if (renderSceneDialog.isOpen() == true) then rdropen = 1
renderSceneDialog.close()

vr.gi_ui_view = 2
vr.irradmap_ui_view = 2
vr.lightcache_ui_view = 2
vr.caustics_ui_view = 2
vr.colormapping_ui_view = 2
vr.system_ui_view = 2
vr.options_ui_view = 2

if (rdropen == 1) then renderSceneDialog.open()
clearlistener()
)
)

callbacks.removescripts id:#VRayExpertPostLoad
callbacks.addscript #filePostOpenProcess "setVRayExpert()" id:#VRayExpertPostLoad
================

Vlado if you read this, could you confirm vr.caustics_ui_view bug ?

No, it's not a bug. The caustics rollout only has an Advanced state, but not an Expert one. So you need to set it to 1, not 2.
