FrameBuffer - Composition layer tab

[vinametal]

Something like Photoshop blend layers. Imagine a rawlight as softlight, enhancing the shadows on render. Must be easy to create. Blend + opacity.

Vray light mix tamb?m, se vray 4.0 n?o conseguir isso, eu n?o vou atualizar e vou migrar para Corona.

We are working on some updates to the V-Ray frame buffer that would potentially allow us to do this.

I remember hearing about this major VFB update quite some time ago - could you give an estimate on the progress?

Yes, will record a short video on this.

There is still some months of work to be done though.

Awesome!!!

Wow, that looks like a lot of features...
Can you make sure to test the new VFB for use with super high resolitions (10k and above) and a dozen of render elements? To make sure that it still is smooth and responsive?

[Vizioen]

Wow that's quite extensive

I'm not sure anything short of a proxy system (a-la nuke, f.e., where the processing happens for the visible pixels, not for the source images) would be able to maintain speed and responsiveness as the number of pixels grew (squarely, at that).
Which would be awesome to have. XD

You mean navigating a high res image inside the new VFB will be slower then before?

For now, the new VFB works like the current one, it applies the color corrections to only the visible pixels.
So, the resolution of the image you are rendering doesn't actually matter.
What matters is the size of the VFB window itself, and how much you are zoomed-in.

You mean navigating a high res image inside the new VFB will be slower then before?

Even with the current VFB, you can make panning quite slow if you enable all the color corrections.
With the new one, you are free to add as many layers as you want, so we will have to develop a system to calculate the layers in a background thread.

This looks incredibly advanced already and I am looking forward to using it! Nice work!

Thanks for the clarification, Vladimir. Looking forward to what you come up with!
