[Max] I need help! / Re: Is there a way outside of the CIE to read lightmix layer data?

« Last post by Jpjapers on Today at 10:31:37 »

You can use python to get this information. Please find a simple script attached and a video showing how you can get the info out of a CXR+Conf file.

I hope this is what you were looking for. You will need to install python in your system to be able to run the script. If I mis understood you, let me know, I will try to get more info from our devs for you.

The solution i gave before will not work out of the box. I will try to find more about from our devs and update you.

Meanwhile, you can add your feature request here: https://chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/ideas

I ended up using python to extract the data with the openexr library anyway but thank you! I have added an idea already about including lightmix layer names in the config files.

Part 12 - Pastry and Bread.

I phototscanned some bread assets to go with the chopping board. I only planned to make one scan but I got carried away as I tend to do once I get scanning.;)

[Max] I need help! / Re: How to Accurately Identify the Last Rendering Mode

« Last post by Avi on Yesterday at 20:42:31 »

I’ve made a simple MaxScript(USING AI) that can tell you whether your last render was done in Production or Interactive Rendering.

How it works:
- Corona’s `CoronaRenderer.CoronaFp.getRenderType()` only works while a render is running 
  (returns 0 = Production, 3 = Interactive).
- To get around this, the script uses a `#postRenderFrame` callback which captures the mode just before the render ends.
- It then saves the result in a persistent variable and updates the render stamp with either [PROD] or [IR].

This way, after rendering finishes, you can still see which mode was used in the VFB stamp.

Script attached below.
