sorry if this is covered somewhere, but i didn’t find anything in a quick search, and i haven’t looked at vray+maxscript in quite some time…

are there any other vray frame buffer calls accessible with maxscript, other than .showLastVFB() ?

max’s own frame buffer has a “getLastRenderedImage()” call that allows one to grab a bitmap of the last render. is there any way to do this with vray’s? is there a way to otherwise save data from the vfb?

thanks,  
greg

thanks for your reply.. i’m looking for a way to grab the data in the vray frame buffer from an already rendered image, through maxscript.

that could mean being able to save a vray frame buffer image, or just grabbing the data a la “getlastrenderedimage()”.

Oh sorry. I definitely won’t be of any use to you then.

You can get the image data from C++, but not from MaxScript yet.
