Calling the VRayFrameBuffer from command line

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max V-Ray for 3ds Max :: Issues

We recently switched to Deadline by Frantic Films instead of backburner, and by default all frame buffers are off. You can easily get the max frame buffer to come up, but we cannot see the VRayFrameBuffer on our render nodes. Is there a command line option to turn it on?

That would be a question for the Deadline guys; V-Ray does not do anything specific in that regard.

Were using a callback to open both FB at once. Maybe this works for Backburner too.


fn openVRayFB = (
	VFB_Interface = callbacks.notificationParam()
	vr=renderers.current
	if VFB_Interface.IsFramebuffer and ( matchpattern (vr as string) pattern:"*V_Ray*") then (
		vr.showLastVFB()
	)
)

try (
	callbacks.removeScripts id:#openVRayFB_postImageViewerDisplay
) catch()
callbacks.addScript #postImageViewerDisplay	"openVRayFB()"				id:#openVRayFB_postImageViewerDisplay	persistent:false

::EDIT::

Just read that you had switched to Deadline instead of backburner, nonetheless this could help a little.

The deadline guys won’t know how to call the vray frame buffer from a script. Thank you, trying that posted callback script now.
