how to access vray render settings?

Submitted by W DIGITAL on Tue, 2011-10-04 21:22

i know showproperties renderer.current
will show me vray properties, but how can i access them?

i have done this with vray camera that wokred, through getVrayPhysicalCamera()

but how to accesss vray render settings like noise threshold, gamma, dmc subdivisions

i can see the commands but i dont know how to access because of the renderer.current command

Tassel's got it!

it will all be in the listener

vr=renderers.current
showproperties vr

i dont know if this happens on all 3d max. But if you want to see what you are doing on the MaxScript Listener, just click to create some vray object like a vray plane or camera or anything else but do not create the object

then you can mess with the properties or with the render properties and it will show on the listener

hope it helps

In The MAXScript

In The MAXScript listener:
Firs type: vr=renderers.current
Then Type: showproperties vr

You can search for VRay scripts here at the forum also and analyse the code in them if the're not encrypted ;)

Nice place to ask such questions:
