Disable saving of lightmix elements

[AlexP]

Hi, is it possible to disable the saving of Lightmix elements at the end of the render? if we only want to save down the final RGB?

We dont use them in post at all, only for fine tuning the lighting in the scene before rendering.

There's no quick way of doing it, I'm afraid. Depending on your workflow there are two options:
1. Save the image directly from the VFB
2. If you are using "Transfer to Scene", you may use this little script instead (make a button out of it). It will transfer the LightMix adjustments to the scene and disable the VRayLightMix RE. This way the next Render will not have the elements.

vfbLayers=(vfbControl #getLayerMgr)[1]
vfbLayers.transferLightMixToScene()

manager = maxOps.getCurRenderElementMgr()
numElements = manager.numrenderelements()
for n = 0 to (numElements-1) do
(
element = manager.getRenderElement n
if classof element == VRayLightMix then
(
element.vrayVFB = 0
)
)​

Forgot about this lol, but yeah the script is a nice workaround for sure thanks
a built in solution would be amazing
