Deex Vray Fast

[bigbossfr]

Hi,
Today i present you the first version (0.5) of Deex Vray Fast.
Because there are more and more users who use Vray For Maya, i decide to create this tool which "set" Vray for Maya automatically.

What is deeXVrayFast ?

Deex Vray Fast is a tool which help the user to work quickly and easily with Vray For Maya.



Features :

* Set the quality automatically with one slider (image sampler quality, GI quality, etc etc...)
* All qualities are controled by presets
* 2 DeeX presets builded by default (for exterior and interior)
* Edit/delete/save/share your presets qualities with all users
* Optimization chooser : choose what do you want to control (Image sampler, irradiance map, light cache, system, etc etc...)
* Optimization chooser : add differente quality for each render option (Image sampler, irradiance map, light cache, system, etc etc...)
* Change resolution in one click (quality is linked to resolution)
* Fast control : choose the best "combo" for GI, quickly control the rendering options (Motion blur, displacement, ambient occlusion, DOF, etc etc...)
* Tool : import multiple proxies in one click
* Tool : connect automatically all shaders to proxies materials (correspondence between proxy slot name and shader name. Work with name space/references)
* Tool : convert all (or selection) your textures into tiled exr. Color space for each texture is preserved automatically.
* Update your tool in one click


Install and start the tool :

Download the file and copy python files in your Maya Python path.

After in Maya, in the script editor, execute :

import deeXVrayFast
reload(deeXVrayFast)
deeXVrayFast.deeXVrayFastUI()

Big feature : Now we have a real API. You can set the quality in command line but you can use all tool of the DeeX Vray Fast in command line !

Every 15 days, the tool will check if you have the last version.
