New Free Tool: VRay VFB Viewport Loader

[Dave_Wortley]

Load your current active viewport into the Vray VFB so if you want to do quick region tests you don't have to guess or do a quick render to see where you need to draw your region.

It's a macroscript so just run it and go into customise user interface, under DW Tools assign it to a hot-key or menu/quad button.

This will turn safe-frames on automatically so it can capture the full viewport area, let me know if you think it should turn safe-frames off again afterwards if they weren't enabled before-hand....

Updated: It now maximises your viewport to give you the highest resolution possible and it also resizes the image to your render size so your frame buffer won't resize. (Thanks Vlado!)
Updated: Fixed crash with VRay RT as production renderer

It doesn't work with the Vray RT VFB, bug Vlado about it if you need it

Nice However currently it resizes the VFB to the size of the viewport grab. Is there a way to open it at the render resolution instead?

Best regards,
Vlado

It's somewhere on the to-do list.

[Dave_Wortley]

It'll be in the next nightly build (or maybe I just updated the post )

Fixed, however the Vray function doesn't seem to work with Vray RT as production renderer unfortunately. Vlado?

Thanks Dave

Just wanted to pop in and say this works great, and has made my life a lot easier. Thanks!!!!!

[Dave_Wortley]

I'm very proud to say Neil has put this script with a few modifications into the Soulburn collections!

It seems that the script doesn't work quite well with Vray 3.2. It just doesn't pop up the vfb.
It actually works fine, but you need to open the vfb yourself
