Quick access to V-Ray Presets

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General

I’m tying to find a quicker way to access V-Ray presets,
is there a way to access my specific presets through maxscript?

What do you want to do with them? Just load a preset?

Best regards,

Yes, that’s what I want to do, and I would like to be able to map the presets to my keyboard or custom Quad menus.
Best regards, Ragnar

Go for RPManager, you will be able to create passes with your presets, way more options as well :wink:

Try to use Max default UI.

Sandykoufax: Thanks, I used this method before, but now I need to use V-Ray Presets since they give me the option to affect a selection of the V-Ray properties instead of all at once.

RPManager is a competent software, but I want to go for simplicity and as few clicks as possible.

Vlado, is there maxscript access to loading my saved V-Ray Presets?

Hello, in V-Ray 3.0 we have added functions that may come in handy.

vrayGetPresetFile - just returns the full path to the currently set presets file.
vrayEnumPresetsNames <presets_file> - returns an array of strings with the names of the presets stored in the file.
vrayLoadPreset <presets_file> <preset_name> - loads the specified preset from the file.
vraySavePreset <presets_file> <preset_name> - saves a preset with the specified name in the file.

hope that helps, best regards,
Alexander
