Vray vfb render accesible to maxscript?

[vasilescu_anton]

Hi all,

I was wondering if you can access the last rendered image in Vray VFB as you can do it for max with the "getLastRenderedImage()"? Or even better, would it be posible when calling the "getLastRenderedImage()" to get the render from the Vray VFB?

Also, when rendering with the Vray VFB, the max's one does not get updated. Is there any feature that I need to enable to have this automated? There is an option to "duplicate to max frame buffer" on the Vray VFb interface...

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Anton

So I should guess that nobody has any idea?

Nope; the V-Ray VFB does not store the image in a way that conforms to the 3dsmax SDK. If you need to access the image from MaxScript, you have to render to the 3dsmax VFB. (however the V-Ray SDK allows you to access the V-Ray VFB from a C++ plugin).

Also, when rendering with the Vray VFB, the max's one does not get updated. Is there any feature that I need to enable to have this automated?

If you set the "Render output file" option in the Render Scene dialog, V-Ray will generate the 3dsmax VFB, in addition to the V-Ray VFB. However in that case it probably doesn't make much sense to use the V-Ray VFB anyways.

Best regards,
