Version:
1.8.2
Release Date:
15 January 2010
Minor Improvements and Bugfix Release
New Save Separate Render Channels checkbox added to control saving separate render channels with Vray renderer. This checkbox works in the same way as the checkbox in the Vray::Frame buffer rollout.
Render Elements' file type (with Vray renderer) changed from the Vray Raw Image file's type to the main output image's.
All global settings are saved to BatchCameraRender.ini located in the user's 3dsmax/.../plugcfg/BatchCameraRender folder. Now all global settings are saved across the sessions.
New Features and Improvements:
- Render Elements path parameter and on/off switch added. Path property lets you set Render Elements rendering path. Path may be absolute or relative. In latter case path would be relative to Main Output path. This property is also supports use of keywords.
There was a bug with Vray renderer and it's now fixed thanks to the Track's solution.
"Send Job as 32/64-bit" switch added to the Net Render Options. This switch lets you submit net render job as 32/64-bit respectively. If users platform differs from the on specified by this switch, it would be reflected in network job name, e.g. if user works on 32-bit platform and submit 64-bit job, that job will have "64-bit" phrase added to the job name.
Some buttons added and changed:
- "Toggle Check All" Checks/unchecks all cameras for the rendering.
- "Check Selected" Checks only selected camera(s).
Vray parameters moved to separate rollout. Some Vray-specific parameters added.
- "Vray Image" Multiplier - this could be used to specify .vrimg (or .exr) file resolution.
- "Enable VFB" - this checkbox is the same as "Enable built-in Frame Buffer" checkbox from the Vray:: Frame Buffer.
Several bug fixes considering store/restore parameter values during max's session and handling of enabled/disabled state of the parameters.
