[HOU-2265] dock VrayFrameBuffer to UI

V-Ray V-Ray for Houdini General
1

Is it possible to use the houdini RenderView with vray? I enjoy working with a docked frame buffer like the default renderView instead with a floating Panel. A option to dock the VrayFrameBuffer to the Houdini UI would be great.

+1 for a dockable solution
In Solaris it will have viewport rendering, but I enjoy using the VFB.

Hey @Jon3D , @pixeltrain ,

we’ve wanted to do this for a while but the VFB that ships with V-Ray versions prior to 5, it was just not feasible.
With V-Ray 5 and the new VFB, I’m hoping we’ll be able to do that.

I’ll ping you once I get more info from the dev team.

Best regards!

Hello @hsz Thank you for the ping! Currently this is not a priority. If the matter is implemented at some point in the future we will make sure to contact you.

Alternatively, it should be possible to render inside houdini render view or as region.
Thing is, help tells me to disable Use V-Ray Frame Buffer​, but for the life of me I cannot find this in Mac version. Any ideas where is this option?

We’ve dropped support for this long time ago. We support only VFB IPR.
