Dot Separator in split channel filenames

[Nexus Productions]

Hi,

We're rendering some 32bit element channels from 3dsMax using vray 3.10.01. When I specify the output in the "Separate Render Channels" it always adds a dot "." into the filename.

e.g. sq_RigTests_shot01_Beauty_v16__RE.VRayVelocity.0100.exr

I understand the conventions of this, but I would like to not have it. I've tried adding this code as a pre-render script, but it still adds the dot into the filename.

nx_vrRenderer=renderers.current
if matchpattern (classof nx_vrRenderer as string) pattern:"V_Ray_Adv_3*" then
(
    nx_vrRenderer.fileName_addDot = false
)

I see maya vray has an option in the UI,

Does vray for 3dsmax have a way of preventing this from being added?

This is an old thread, but still relevant. I ran into this issue today. Seems like both save VRay raw image file dialog and this one should have the same features, but they do not. Did it ever get considered?

It is not implemented yet, but I'll see if we can place it in the list of the new build updates.

Hi Tashko, any update on this? I'd like to have the dot separator removed as well, or at least have the option to remove it.

I'll talk to the product manager about the improvement request (internal bug-tracker id: VMAX-3014).
