Scriptable

Hi all- I am not sure what is in store nor all of what already works, but I was wondereing if there is a plan to make the vray commands scriptable in Rhino- not vbscript but just basic Rhino style command macros. What I am thinking about the ability to set up buttons for example that have a range of settings from VrayOptions to make preview/draft and final settings for a rendering. it is not always easy to remember all the things you need to set every time and punching a button with favorite settings could be a good thing.

For example, a VrayOptions command would open the vray options panel , and a dash version -VrayOptions would present command line versions of all the options. It can get complex but the -Options or -DocumentProperties commands in Rhino shows how it can be done....

thanks,

I like the idea!

Vray for max has a preset button, which opens a popup window to choose which settings you wanna save in a preset. Maybe it will be implemented in vrayforrhino too?

I've been thinking about this too. I think something like this would be extremely useful under tight deadlines, which is pretty much every single project. I don't usually have time to experiment and guess.

yes we have discussed making some rhino commands that would do various things, one basic example would be to bring up the Options pages. I am unsure how much scriptibility we will have right away, but it is definately being considered.

I like this idea.
It should be possible to "save" the current state of all settings settings (all rollouts) and it should be possible to load settings from a file.

Also, there should be a "Default" button to return all settings to defaults (with a warning popup to avoid accidents)

I agree completely with this. I think we will probably implement this or something comparable before RC.
