Bloom

[Yannick]

Hi,

I am having a look at the bloom option in the VFB. However, I get the message: "No Channel, please prerender".
How do I pre render?
Any link to tutorial about using the bloom effect in Maya?

Thanks,

Yannick

never mind, i had to close the VFB and start a new render.

The lens effects need to operate on the colors in physical space; if you have any color mapping on your image, you'll need to re-render so that the lens effects can store the physical colors and use them later on to generate the bloom/glare.

Actually it should say "re-render", not "prerender" Will fix it.

Best regards,

Cool thanks Vlado.

Does this work in Batch now, a couple of weeks ago, V-Ray did not seem to output a channel in a batch render, nore a glare intensity mask either.

But the bloom worked fine in the VFB.

We are working on the render elements issue in batch mode.
Thank you for the feedback.
