Hi,
more questions! I set my output format to EXR and specify it to automatically save out all the render elements. it doesn’t save out multichannel exrs as one would expect but to individual files sequences. I usually render with Vray and doing multichannel exrs through their VFB. Is there something I have to do to turn on multichannel exrs through the max render settings?
Not at this point. I am not 100% sure how the new EXR IO plugin decides what render elements to support (it comes from Cebas, but I assume Autodesk is responsible for the code now).
It is possible that we have to set some flag in our Render Elements to make them visible to the EXR plugin, but I could be wrong. I will log it as a Wish and we will investigate, but for now, you are stuck with multiple element files (which isn’t always too bad since multi-channel EXRs can be slow in some compositing applications).
good to know. Ill keep an eye out for it in the next the future
