Exposure and Vignetting ON/OFF Global Switch

[stilgarna]

Hello,

Is it possible to add into the global switch panel the exposure and Vignetting on/off switch ???

Example : Useful for AO pass...


Best regards...

Alternatively, I've modified Plastic's (Marc Lorenz's) script to handle just that. It looks to see if the current view is a phys. camera and if exposure is on it turns it off (it just turns off vignetting though). I can't say it's bug free but I use it almost daily without any real problems. I almost never use the "skylight" option though.




I've held off distributing it myself however since it's based so much on Marc's original script. I pm'd him about it but never got a response.

Marc?

Ok but i'm using RPmanager and I use small script to enable or disable Vignetting and Exposure... Will be a lot better to have a global switch...

Sorry for posting again...

But any chance to see this such switches ???
I need those to make mask pass for example or AO pass.

Still - how do you find rpmanager? I'm doing an arch vis animation at the minute and a good pass manager like XSI that can handle object sets, object visibility, cameras and saved irmap / lcmaps per pass would probably fix a lot of my rendering mistakes.

I haven't tried it, but isn't there a control for the vray camera in rpmanagers object properties?

I'm with stilgarna here- I could see the use for this kind of switch.

Hello,

I suppose it's possible, everything is possible with RPmanager

But I think it may be useful to have a global controller like on/of displacement, on/glossy etc etc...

Best regards...

I'm sure you're already using a script, but here is an easy one. Paste this in rpmanager scripts for each.

for c in cameras where (classof c == VRayPhysicalCamera) do c.vignetting = false

Change the "c.vignetting = false" to true if you want to turn it on, be sure to reset it to whatever it was previously in the after script.

Just checked, there is indeed a custom objects property for vignetting for vray cameras.

Hey Joconnell
I have been using RPmanager for the last year and dont know how I lived without.
Grant Adams is also great for bug fixes and updates. We have had a few issues with it but 99 percent of the time its been an issue from our end, and the other 1 percent of the time Grant got us a fix within a few hours.
