Render elements and layer overrride

[Yannick]

Hi,
could we have the layer override to work with the render element in the render settings?
This way I can control the render element per render layer.

Thanks

You can override the enabled attribute of each V-Ray render element. This can be found in the "Extra attributes" section in the attribute editor of a VRayRenderElement.

Hi Vladimir,
Thanks for the tip.
However if I have a lot of render element, it won't be straight forward. Is there a way to do it on several nodes at the same time?

You can always write a script to automate the process.

I am not really good with script but I am wondering if the spread sheet editor would allow to do it. I will have to test it.

Just open scripteditor- , see when you turn one off or on (enable button)


Copy that "output"

and paste it as many times underneath eachother and then just run it in the script editor..

Your first script, tada.


vrayelementA enable 1;
vrayelementB enable 1;
vrayelementC enable 1;

etc, for example.... (not correct code, you'd have to do what i said to get it )

If you are scriptaphobic (I am a bit) you can select your elements in the outliner - You'll have to turn off "DAG objects only" to see them there. Once you select them, go to the attribute editor and the "All" tab. The layer menu will let you create an override, and another trick is to select the column name, and it will select all the values in that column. Enter 0 for off, hit enter.
