MEL command to save image?

V-Ray V-Ray for Maya General
1

Hi, With Maya’s render view I can use this MEL;

renderWindowEditor -edit -writeImage “D:/Renders/test.png” $renderViewName;

It’s useful for me to test really fast what my image will look like finally comped.

But is there an equivalent command that can be used to save out an image from the V-Ray framebuffer?

I don’t know if a mel command is possible, but well, vray automatically saves the render at render’s end anyway, it usually goes into your project/tmp, can you not grab that instead?

In the latest nightly builds, look at the “vray vfbControl” command - it has flags for saving the image from the V-Ray frame buffer.

Best regards,
Vlado
