VFB fully accessible with maxscript

[JulianD]

by the way, did you change any vfb functions? If so, did you update a manual page or something? Thanks!

[yavor.rubenov]

No - for now there are no new MAXScript functions.

Related to this, I'm trying to determine whether or not the Lens effects are enabled in the New V-Ray Frame Buffer so that when doing tiled renders through Deadline, I can throw up a sanity check warning that they will lead to unexpected results.
Is this possible yet? The following doesn't appear to be working in 5.00.04:

vfbControl #glare false

Unfortunately none of the Lens Effect controls are currently implemented in VFB2 but they shouldn't be too hard.

It would be great to do it if not too difficult.
This might already be possible (haven't tried!) but the ability to access loading / saving of Layer Trees and Lightmix settings would be great to have script access to also, so please add that to the implementation list!

Yep we are working on full script access to the layers tree.

Hey there!

I got trouble accessing some options?

I tried vfbcontrol #ocio false but it didn't seem to work even tho the macro recorder says "OK".


On the other hand, as far as I understand there is now 2 ways of setuping ACES with vray, right? Ocio way (screenshot just above) or this new option:

Tone mapping space = ACESCG
Am I right? If so, what's the difference? Does vray use a internal ocio version? Is it CTL based? Are there good/bad points of using one instead of the other?

Thanks!

Thanks for the pointer - currently only turning modes ON works (#ocio true). So if you want to turn OFF OCIO you can use vfbcontrol #srgb true. Will fix the OFF switch too.

As for the Filmic Tonemap correction - it is intended mostly for applying various tonemap curves - if you do not intend to add such curves using the Display Correction OCIO options is enough.

Hi Yavor, just wanted to check if there were any updates in terms of full script access to the VFB? Thanks!

I hope to have better way to control VFB than he current strange command methods.
Could we get a proper interface for vfb?
Or.. simply as a part of vray renderer properties?

[vlado]

There have been some improvements in the nightly builds (access to OCIO and ICC settings as well as improved getting and setting of render region), but we are still working on access to the layers tree and layer properties.

Best regards,
Vlado

Is it possible to set the exposure through maxscript?
Either on a Exposure layer or in the Display Correction properties.

These do not work:
vfbControl #exposure true
vfbControl #setexposure 0.75

[jovcem]

Maybe wrong thread for my last post, but can anyone confirm that is not possible to set exposure through maxscript?

[yavor.rubenov]

Sorry for the delayed reply.
Currently it is not possible in the stable builds. Full access to that is coming in soon.

How about the ability to thanks or disable the follow mouse feature for bucket rendering? (We would really like this to default to NOT follow the mouse when net rendering. )
