1  exrTrader / exrTrader General Discussion / Re: is exrTrader usable for DFX+ users? on: May 11, 2007, 09:33:31 PM
Many thanks Mike

I´ve tried the sample teaset.exr and DFX+ won´t even load it, so i´m out of luck in this case.

If you consider writing a passes/buffers manager for Lightwave with the features of exrTrader, but having the chance to choose a different file format for saving, i´ll be the first to buy it (hint, hint...  Grin )

thanks anyway

2  exrTrader / exrTrader General Discussion / is exrTrader usable for DFX+ users? on: May 11, 2007, 10:25:29 AM
Hi,

I´m aware that DFX+ 4.04e will only support 8 bits per channel, and that is the reason i´m asking, as i am very interested in exrTrader mainly for it´s buffer exporting capabilities.

Leaving aside the 32bits per channel thing ( :'( ) will still be usable for me for these kind of things (buffers, passes)?
Will the buffers be heavily clipped (and unusable) on DFX+ importing?
Is there something in Lightwave rendering options i can do to avoid this, like using a linear file format for exporting, like TGA?

Would it be possible to have on your website a sample exr file with all buffers included just for testing purposes?

thanks
Juan Carlos
