Commonly used buffers
« on: November 27, 2006, 08:18:56 PM »

Hello!
My company use only commonly used buffers. Please give me description of every buffer.
And how we should compose them? (order and math)
I see info about compositing in photoshop, but we need more. Smiley
For, example with mental ray we use

long formula
color*diff_occl*diffuse*shadow + specular*spec_shd + amb_occlus*ambient + reflect + refract + indirect + incand

short formula
shading + specular*spec_shd + amb_occlus*ambient + reflect + refract + indirect + incand

Please give me something like this. Smiley (long and short). Plz! Smiley

Hi Alex,

do be quite honest... I can't give you a formula.

I've personally not used the LW buffers to fully reconstruct an image (which is not possible in case of transparencies anyhow) - maybe one of our other users has and can give you some hints.

I can't give you a more detailed description either, exrTrader is only saving out what LW (and everything) provides, and uses the same naming as well.

We will try to add training material as we get it, but we can't provide you a workflow for your specific needs, I hope you understand that.

Cheers,
Mike

Hello Alex,

I strongly recommend to read our user manual carefully. Our unlicensed version only includes the fully functional OpenEXR image loader and saver and may be used for free. To use the complete exrTrader you have to register and pay (39 EUR (excl.Vat) or 49 USD).
The support for regsitered customers is free and we are always happy to help. So do many users here in the forum, too.
Since the OpenEXR file format is quite powerful, we can't provide usecases for any task that may occur.

To get more information about the power of OpenEXR, please have a look at http://www.openexr.com/ .

And as Mike as said training material will be added.

Cheers,
Dagmar
