Load your current active viewport into the Vray VFB so if you want to do quick region tests you don’t have to guess or do a quick render to see where you need to draw your region. It’s a macroscript so just run it and go into customise user interface, under DW Tools assign it to a hot-key or menu/q…

I’m very proud to say Neil has put this script with a few modifications into the Soulburn collections!

It seems that the script doesn’t work quite well with Vray 3.2. It just doesn’t pop up the vfb. It actually works fine, but you need to open the vfb yourself :slight_smile:

Confirmed. I’ll look into what changed and will try and get a fix in my script. - Neil

What changed is that all vfbControl() commands used to always show the VFB. Now you need to use the show command explicitly. Best regards, Vlado

So what is the show command? vfbControl hide will hide it, but I can’t find a command to show it. - Neil

To add this just put this below the line… vfbControl etc… and before the last closing bracket of the script renderers.current.showLastVFB()

Thanks Dave, that’s what I needed. Here’s the updated script. - Neil viewportToVFBLoader.zip (2.53 KB)

Thanks Neil, I must be doing something wrong but dragging your 1.01 script to the viewport and created a toolbar button for the script - doesn’t work ? (click it, doesn’t do anything). I have your SoulburnScripts pack and 1.00 is in there, that works fine - just the 1.01 doesn’t ? Anyone else exp…

Weird. Can you give more details on what you mean by “dragging your 1.01 script to the viewport”. You should just be able to replace the script in your 3dsmax dir with the new one, restart max, and the button should now load the new script and work properly. - Neil

Hi Neil, My bad - I usually drag and drop scripts into a viewport window, but followed your guidance on this and it works fine now :slight_smile:
