ctrl_buffer

[tryharder]

Hi,

is there anybody out there who has experience with the ctrl_buffer shader from francesca luca in 3ds max 9?

what i need is the possibility to render out these passes:
- diffuse
- shadow
- ambient occlusion
- reflection
- refraction
- ...

in one process. ctrl_buffer does it in maya and xsi. but how to set it up in 3ds max 9.

a small sample scene would be great :rolleyes:

I am trying to figure this out as well.

I tried setting it up similar to the p_MegaTK, with placing a mrShader dummy in the scene, but to no avail.

Also, the interface is a bit confusing.

Does anyone know the basic set up?

Where do you download it. I'll give it a try.

You can get then here:

Also on the CGTalk forums, gulio posted a Max scene file which has the basic way to set it up.
You xan get it on this page:

It will at least write out the different pass images, although they are "empty"

The interface for the Max version is *REALLY* lacking compared to the Maya and XSI versions.
When I have time I am going to try and compare with screenshots found in the Maya and XSI forums at CGTalk.

Good luck.
