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.

How to Pick Things ?
I've asked about this, but i don't know if it was solved. After Outliner installed and associated to "H", i can't use it to "pick" things...
For Instance : To pick a Morph Target > Press Pick Object > Press H and i can't "PICK" using outliner. :( The old Scene Explorer (H), accepts pick "behavior".

I can not recreate this
I can not recreate this behaviour, but in any case, I will fix compatibility with batch render for the next version.
I also found, and batch
I also found, and batch render is Incorrect ,After Render several scenes, do not render complete, it automatically stopped, the panel has red ×.
Fixed!
The issue was that batch render was being used.
There is a safeguard in VFB+ to not try to capture the render if you are using batch render manager, though I now changed it to only disable capturing if there is more than one view in batch render.
Thanks for reporting it.
@kumodot: Is this also the case in your scenes? are you also using batch render?
Same problem here!
I don't know what exactly caused the problem but when it happened it sticks with the scene (Attached) and to get VFB+ work again I must create new scene ..
Max Version: 2012 SP2

thanks to scriptspot community
I haven't had this happen,
I haven't had this happen, but I will try to reproduce it. Do you have any hints on how to trigger it?
Also, what OS and 3dsmax version?
Thanks.
bug ?
I have the same proble here. Sometimes (not rare), the VFB just stops working, all the icons became gray and only the PLUS icon works, sometimes clicking it twice (on/off VFB+), it starts to work again.

I'd love it if you could send
I'd love it if you could send me the scene, even without the HDR file. This definitely sounds like it should not be happening.
