New Physical camera its a mess.

No, they don't work right now. Also, I think these things are best done in the VFB, not baked into the render.

Ok, seems logical.

I am having a terrible time with the Gamma 2.2.

Everything is over exposed.

Has that come up with 3.2 ?

No. I don't think there are any changes there. Keeping everything at default values for both 3ds Max and V-Ray will get things right most of the time.

It seems that the seconds of the shutter speed doesnt make any difference in the exposure. I dont know what is the problem.

The Exposure Gain setting controls the exposure as long as it's set to Target. That means, no matter how much you change shutter speed or aperture Vray will always change the iso to make sure the overall exposure is the same as the target EV (try increasing EV to around 12 if it's overexposed). If you switch it to manual iso it functions the same as the old VrayPhysicalCamera did.

Hehe I think he meant the new VRay version, not the Gamma set to 3.2

forgive my dumbness, but what does the new physical camera do thats so cool? Im still using Vlados script above to keep the vrayphysical camera....
it doesnt help that I aint a camera guru but any direction would be appreciated.

It has a better viewport representation (you can preview the DOF effect even). Also, exposure lock - you can adjust DOF/moblur without these affecting the image brightness. Finally, it's a part of 3ds Max now, so 3rd party tools have no excuse to not support it

i like it so far, not had any problems.

I yet have to try it out properly, the first thing I noticed though is that the interface seems more complex. But hey - if it works it's just a matter of getting used to. He who can find the checkbox in VRay should be able to get along with a slightly more complex UI of a new camera :P
