Convert older V-Ray scene to new Variance-based sampling, post 3.3

V-Ray V-Ray for Maya General

Hi all

I’ve used the following mel, to convert an old V-Ray scene to the new sampling method:
setAttr “vraySettings.dmcAdaptiveMethod” 1;

But is there a way to check that the new Variance-based method is being used?

Cheers

Vray new Adaptive Mode in 3.3
check Status:
getAttr vraySettings.dmcAdaptiveMethod;
0 for no /1 for Yes

- disables variance-based sampling
setAttr vraySettings.dmcAdaptiveMethod 0;
- enables it
setAttr vraySettings.dmcAdaptiveMethod 1;
It will be automatically disabled for old scenes and only enabled for new scenes. The above MEL lines can be used to force switch it on/off.
