Any way to toggle multiple render elements at same time?

[becoolmin]

Hi there,

I was wondering if there's any way to toggle multiple render elements at same time.

The project I'm working now, I reference same character file multiple times which has same multi matte set.

Now I have to click this on/off icon to every single elements.



Is there any way to do it at same time?

Have you tried to select multiple render elements and then to toggle the Y/N icon?

[becoolmin]

Yes, I tried and No, it does not work that way. It's only toggle one element with its icon, not every selected ones.


Oh wait, does it work that way for you? If it does, which version of maya and vray are you using?

[t.petrov]

Maya 2014, V-Ray 3.0 dev version
I've not tried 2.45 or any other release.

What is the version you're using?

[t.petrov]

As far as I can see, this will only be available in V-Ray 3.0.

Oh, then if maya 2014 and vray 3.0 are working that way, I just have to wait til it get released : )


I'm using maya 2013, 2.30 and 2012, 2.20, none of them isn't working for multiple elements toggle.

Why not using the spreadsheet editor?
Select your RE and switch them on/off.

Only problem it doesn't refresh in the render setting window. it needs to be close and re open to see the change.

I guess that's only option for now til vray 3 comes out. Thanks Yannick!

Yannick,

I just tried to select my RE"S" and it's not letting me select multiple REs.

Is your maya+vray working that way fine? If then, what version are you using it?




My computer's maya is 2013, vray is 2.25.01.

[Yannick]

I tried on Maya 2013 and Vray 2.30.01
You need to select your RE in the outliner.

Cheers,
