This will load grab your current viewport and put it as a background for your VRay. Really useful for when you want to do a region render in the VFB but don't know where to draw your region. It's clever enough to crop to your safe-frames, and resize to your render size, upscaling to large resolutions won't give you the best quality but should hopefully help!

Additional Info: 

Installation

Run the mcr file, as you would a script file, then go to

Customize -> Customize User Interface, choose to assign it to a hotkey or menu or toolbar and find the tool under 'DW Tools'

 Updated to work with VRayRT properly

Same for me. Im on max2014 Vray 2.5.

I guess the function to load the image to the VR BF gets introduced with Vray3.0.
