Introducing VFB+ v2.81, the advanced virtual frame buffer for Autodesk 3dsmax.
VFB+ works with any renderer which uses the native 3dsmax frame buffer, such as Scanline, Mental Ray, Final Render, IRay, VRay, Corona (when not using the renderer's custom VFB).
The frame buffer has been designed and heavily tested to fit smoothly into any production pipeline, and to streamline the rendering workflow for anyone who renders in 3dsmax.
Version 2.8 is the most powerful and feature packed release yet!
A partial list of features:
- 32-bit per channel color correction.
- Various correction controls including exposure, gamma, multi-channel curves, vignette, chromatic aberration, bloom, glare, blur/sharpen, speckle reduction, noise reduction, etc.
- Depth of Field based on Z-Depth.
- VFB+ is active while rendering, including tweaking of color correction and stamping.
- Captures Render Elements, G-Buffer channels, and RTT elements as well as the main pass.
- Composition guides help you tweak your image.
- Pixel Aspect Ratio correction display.
- 4 different A|B comparison modes.
- Display modes for all channels.
- Support for 3D color LUTs.
- Realtime RGB Histogram.
- Rich WYSIWYG stamping system with virtually any imaginable variable including arbitrary MAXScript expressions.
- Fully documented.
- Customizable interoperability options.
- MAXScript interface provides access to almost all features.

Max '18
I know this probably will take a while, considering you likely do not have the time to dedicate to VFB+ ... but a version compiled for Max 18 would be ace!
VFB+ does nothing special to
VFB+ does nothing special to integrate with VRay VFB. For almost all purposes (other than the feature which tracks the mouse), it is unaware of VRay. Could you elaborate on how you feel it is better integrated with VRay?
From my understanding your
From my understanding your plugin works seamlessly with VRays VFB. The same can't be done with Coronas is what I mean.
Sorry, I still don't really
Sorry, I still don't really understand what that means. If you're asking if I can override the behavior of the Corona VFB, then no, not really.
Thanks. I hope you can add
Thanks. I hope you can add that in the future.
I mean, would it be supported so that it's docked to the Corona VFB in the future? And bypass the standard VFB?

Filmstrip: there's currently no maxscript method to open it, sorry.
Corona VFB: What would it mean to 'support' Corona VFB?
Works perfectly & thanks for the link
The reason I'm doing this is to have a btn to load an image from Coronas VFB to the normal (VFB+) one.
Is there a gamma option I can do when loading the .EXR to burn in the correct gamma or do I have to then use the
VFBPlus2ColorCorrection.Exposure = 2.2Scrap that. I've just created a pre-render callback that opens the VFB+ before a render is taking place so it loads into VFB+.
Two more Q. Is there a maxscript exposed way to enable visibility of the film strip?
Will the Corona VFB be supported?
