 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.

File saving

What you say is curious, for me TIF saves the fastest.
It's true that the file sizes are big, but it is a lossless format, and all the files are deleted when 3dsmax shuts down anyways.

Can you please run this script? It's a file format saving benchmark.

Please run it and post the results from the listener.

Thanks

Awesome

Thanks for this man. This is really an awesome addition to the rendered frame window. These are the things I want to see from autodesk, really. To bad, that they don't get it and someone like you have to spend there free time creating this. Keep up the good work!!!

about frame stamp: I will work on it, not for the closest version, but the one after that.

about error: can you please post the exact steps how to trigger the error? It will help me to find the source.
