render region button

[manson]

hi,
is there a mel command for turning on/off the render region in the vray framebuffer?
because it is a hassle when i forget to turn it off and my batch renderings are cropped ;(

thx

For the moment, the only way to turn it off is to use the following MEL command right after opening the scene (before any rendering):

setAttr "vraySettings.vfbSettingsArr" -type Int32Array 0;

thx vlado!
hope i can use it as pre render script, to execute it before the rendering will start on the renderfarm.

hmm im trying to do the same thing.

the mel did not turn off the region render for me?

any tricks to getting that to work? I tested in the script editor. I turned on the region render then ran the mel then rendered, still its rendering only the regioin.

similarly is there a way to turn off color corrections curve? doesn't that also get burned/rendered into the image?

sometimes I use that cc curve for testing in the VFB but want the renders to come out un-corrected so I can do all corrections in post.

also would be handy there doesn't seem to be a reset on the color corrections curve. so manually setting it back to 0.0 is tricky.

The same command above will also reset the color correction curve.

ok great, now i just need to get that to work. that mel resets everything in the FB to default?

see previous post mels not working? was this implemented in a later version of vray?

It works fine for that version; however it needs to be executed right after you open the scene, before any rendering (or perhaps in a pre-render MEL callback). If worse comes to worse, you can always disable the V-Ray VFB.
