  • Multiple ROPs IPRs

    I have a setup with multiple ROPs, each ROP use different camera, different render settings.

    Seems like the IPR functionality with VBF or V-Ray toolbar is broken and only one IPR can render/launch, and that`s the one that was created fist.


    - Even when i create multiple IPR nodes and points each to it`s own ROP, i does not work.

    - Running IPR from the V-Ray toolbar, will always run only that first IPR/main render, no way to select which one i want to run.

    - A way to run different ROP is to select it in OUT context and press render to disk. Then the correct VFB appears. i stop the render and launch IPR from the VFB. But will also not render the correct IPR, but it will switch again to that first IPR, so that`s broken too.

    - managing multiple IPRs from Houdini render view tab can work, but it`s pita, managing two windows/systems at the same time...


    If i may suggest, take a look how effectively this was solved in Redshift for Houdini. It`s pleasure to work with, you can select what ever camera or ROP you need, don`t have to close/launch VFB again, it`s just works, it`s very fluid.

    Hello and sorry for the late reply, I've added your request in our "todo" list and we will try to improve the workflow with multiple ROPs IPRs

      chakarov, it really need to be looked into. Currently i have scene with 20 Vray ROPs in the scene, rendering lot of different smaller things. If i press show VFB on the toolbar, guess what happens, 20 windows pop out

        I just had the same experience with a lots of rops. I have three proposals:

        1. when hitting the show framebuffer button with any selected number of rops, those vfbs pop open.
        2. when hitting the show framebuffer with no rop selected, only the last opened framebuffer(s) pops open.
        3. when hitting the ipr button on an open framebuffer, that framebuffer should automatically be ipr'd (rop put into the ipr node).

        what do you think about this psanitra?

          Agree with psanitra how RS does it. Is a great solution.

            Hi guys, we've implemented multiple ROPs workflow in last nightlies.
            - Shift + click on V-Ray shelf icons of "Render", "Rop Parm", "IPR (VFB)", "IPR ROP Parm" and "Show VFB" popups a menu with currently available ROPs, and you can easily switch to one of them.
            - with RMB on "Render" and "IPR" buttons in VFB you can easily switch between cameras in scene. This way settings of the current ROP will be used, but camera will be temporary switched to selected one.
