Hi guys!

Is there a way to automatically save only wN??

You will need to render again, but you can deactivate everything you don’t need to be calculated for this render pass. Lights, reflections … Just make a test render for one frame to see how it looks like.

Hi Tashko,

Thank you for your reply.

Im reffering to worldNormals RenderElement of V-Ray Denoiser.
There seems to be no way to automatically export Denoiser elements without Maxscript.

hey Ledian,

I’m not sure what you need to achieve in details, but you can get the WorldNormals pass if you add a SamplerInfo element and change the type to Normal vector. You can also add a denoiser element and set it’s mode to Only generate render elements. Does that help ?

Hi Tashko,

Thank you for your time!

No it doesn’t help actually.

  1. Sampler Info on Normal Vector generates different result than WorldNormals of Denoiser.
  2. Denoiser Elements can’t be exported automatically.

So, what im trying to achieve is a sequence of WorldNormal Elements (from Denoiser) and seems that i can’t figure out how to do it.

Can you show me your samplerInfo setup? I used that when I was developing the denoiser - it should be indentical to the worldNormals element from the denoiser.
