VRayLightMeter

[Guest]

I have been playing with the VRayLightMeter and I seem to get errors in the Vray log. "Could not save baked element ""BMM device not found." Are there any video or text tutorials anywhere showing how to use the helper correctly? Where to position the helper, and what size it should be etc. Also how does this help with teh Vray camera, is there a way to set auto exposure in the camera using this data?

Thanks,

This is normal, just ignore the error.

That's up to you, depending on which parts of the scene you want to measure.

Also how does this help with teh Vray camera, is there a way to set auto exposure in the camera using this data?

No, it was not meant to help with the physical camera exposure.

Thanks for the help. Are there any future plans to marry up the two? Or even some new technique, an auto exposure feature for the camera would be pretty cool.

We can think about it

I believe the Solid Rocks plugin has an auto exposure feature.

Does this work for the latest version of 3ds Max and V-Ray? Date last updated : 09/08/2008
