Linux - Use Vray Frame Buffer

[bernhard]

Is there any way, that the Vray Frame Buffer kicks in when checking in the global settings ?
Yeah.. and finally stays there ?

thx

Not sure what you mean? Which Maya version by the way?

I am on Linux Maya 2011.

I miss the "save image" button with which you can save rendered images directly inside the vray frame buffer - not supported through Linux ?

[vlado]

It should be there... Can you post a screengrab?

hmmm....

For some reason I get (sometimes) two different windows, like shown below:





on the second I get the duplicate button, but when pressing, it doesn't save the image in the way it should.

by the way, it' s on Linux Fedora, Maya 2011.

One window (the first) is from V-Ray Standalone using generic X11 controls, the other is from V-Ray for Maya using Qt.

Do you mean the Duplicate to Maya RenderView button, or the Save button?

Best regards,

yep... that's right...

Actually I just want to keep rendered images and it's elements in the vray frame buffer - so once I finished a render, and I make a new one, I can compare them.
But till yet, I couldn't find a way to make that work inside the Vray Frame Buffer.

The Duplicate to Maya RenderView button: works fine
The Save button: works fine

thx a lot
