V-Ray 7 - Keyboard shortcuts "1" and "2" in VFB don't work properly

[Alex_M]

Hi,

Keyboard shortcuts "1" and "2" don't work properly in the VFB of V-Ray 7. V-Ray doesn't load the last 2 saved images when I press them unless I click somewhere inside the History panel first. This was not the case with V-Ray 6 where you could load the last 2 saved images by pressing "1" and "2" without having to click in the History panel first.

We are investigating the matter.

EDIT: The issue is already logged (internal bug-tracker id: VFB-110). It works like so, because of the polygon region shortcuts (active when the preview is selected).

I think the region render / polygon render needs some rework it would be better if it worked like this, then you would also not have the problem of the shortcut getting in the way:

2 buttons on top > Rectangle - Freeform - like it is now.

Rectangle mode:



Freeform Mode:



To solve the problem for drawing rectangles in freeform if you want to combine shapes, you can for instance introduce the use of modifier keys:

Click : Draw polygon > Hold Shift: Draw orthogonal or under angle (option for setting the angle snap)
Ctrl + Click : Draw Rectangle
Shift + Click: Draw Circle
Click + Drag : Freehand

To solve the problem for the whitebalance eyedropper tool (instead of dragging to draw freeform) > Deactivate the Region creation tool when the whitebalance eyedropper is active, and make the whitebalance eyedropper a single use, disable after picking a color (you can maybe use the shift key to keep the eyedropper active when clicking and dragging and the region creation deactive at the same time). Same for the picking tools for cryptomasks: if the picking tool is active disable the ability to create / edit the regions.

I've added the above to the idea portal, as I think it would work a lot better this way.

Hi, thank you for the feedback. We are planning some improvements to solve the shortcut issue.
