Updated to vray 3.60.03 change in frame buffer behavior?

Hi Yolov

when i render in deadline it submits a maya batch render and i use the addtiaonal command line arguement -reg #### #### #### #### where the # are the coordinates for left right bottom top regions in pixels. it is completely outside of maya GUI.

thanks

deadline submits scenes to the farm, it load a maya batch render with no GUI interface. You can specifiy regions with in the deadline submitter using addtional command line arguements such as -reg #### #### #### ####, where the # is the pixel coordinates for left, right bottom and top regions in pixels for the regions render, all i want is for the regions not to be a crop. I see when i open the cropped imags in photoshop using proexr that there is some meta date showing these regions as

dataWindow (box2i): [527, 393, 868, 584]
displayWindow (box2i): [0, 0, 1148, 861]

the first line being the crop and the second line being the full frame.

thanks

Then this is different than the VFB issue/fix.
What's the expected behavior here, I got a bit lost. What do you need to happen when you render a region in batch mode?

Actually, I think I got it - let me check on a few things and get back to you.

Hi Yolov

I would be nice for it to behave like it did in vray 3.6.02 which was, when i opened a region render in photoshop for it to have full bleed and not crop to the region.

thanks

If I understand this correctly (and I hope I do) you used to get a region rendered in batch which was automatically placed in the correct coordinates in compositing?
If that's the case, after the changes that affect this, there's an option in Render settings > Common tab > Image FIle Output > Image format Option > Data window. If you set this to "Whole image", the data window coordinates will be of the full image.
If it's easier to not open your scenes, tweak the settings and re-save them, you can add a preRender script to deadline to set the option for you:

-preRender "setAttr vraySettings.imgOpt_exr_autoDataWindow 2;"

For example

<path_to_maya_batch> -r vray -reg 0 500 0 500 -preRender "setAttr vraySettings.imgOpt_exr_autoDataWindow 2;" <path_to_scene>
