VFB+ v2.81 is now completely free!
Click for Change Log
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.

Some errors with saved images
Error 1 - Image counter doesn't increase if I have in preferences 'Store rendered images when VFB+ is disabled' unchecked.
Error 2 - Set 'Maximum images to store' to 3. Render 2 images. Toogle A/B. Set B as 1 or 2. Keep rendering few more images. You will get 'Missing Image' error instead of image, because previous file was overwritten.
Render issue
Thanks for the report, there seems to be an issue caused by triggering the render from a dotnet handler. I fixed this and it will be included in the next release.

Downloaded file saved with .zip extension by some reason. I have figured out that I have to rename it to .mzp extension.
