Put additional tools in the download section?

[sukistar]

hi,

I noticed there are some vray related shaders and plugins floating around in the forum as just links, tools that can really save the day like vrayinfotexture (which opens the whole world of position passes)

would it be possible to collect these tools in the downloadsection so they are easy to find?
I guess it is okay if these are not fully developed tools or just little experiment, in some cases, they are just too valuable
to go unnoticed.

thanks

Yes, I've been meaning to come with a web page for these; maybe on spot3d though, along with the online help index.

Best regards,
Vlado

great, thanks!

what other tools are there besides vrayinfotexture(where do i get that) and stereoscopic plugin?

until we have a page for it, would be a nice thread if we post the links to download (or to thread) here:

Ill start with:

V-Ray Stereoscopic Plugin

great thanks,

any info on what its used for, how to use it?

[sukistar]

you can use it as a renderelement to produce additonal passes such as point position or a normal pass with more control (in world or camera space), also reflection and refraction vectors. these are great for doing various tricks in comp like relighting, or direction/heighth/depth based color corrections. reflection/refraction vector can be used to to drive distortions of input images in comp, making them look like they where reflected/refracted by the actual geometry. if you rebuild your shaders in comp and use those passes it allows you to create a lot of integration work long after the actual 3d rendering was done

sounds interesting
would love to see some screenshots / WIP done with it
