VRay Render Element Parameters through MaxScript

By PerfectCell · 2012-12-04

Description

Hi,

I have just recently made my first ever MaxScript to speed up the process of sending renders, but want to add a little more automation to it, such as having it pull the camera clip values to use them in the VRayZDepth element.
However, I don't know how to access the VRay Render Element parameters through the code.
The same goes for Vray ExtraTex - assigning a texture to it etc.

Is there a list or resource somewhere that has the list of parameters/properties, or can anyone here help?

not quite solved...

A colleague at work managed to track down this awesome resource which solves my problem!

Vray online reference

Actually, despite this list of properties, I'm getting 'Unknown property' errors...

Any advice?

Here's what I have right now, and it is working perfectly! :D

if n == vrayzdepth then
(
	i = findItem elementlist n
	re=maxOps.getCurRenderElementMgr()
	element = re.getRenderElement (i-1)
	element.zdepth_use_camera_clip_boudaries = true
)
