XPresso - Render Settings showed in Render

[cogombo]

Hi all. With this little xpression that I've created you can render the settings of render. Very useful for testing or educational purposes:

IM: Irradiance Map: Min, Max, Hemis. Subdv. (HS), Interpolated Samples (IS).
PM: Photon Map: Bounces (B), Max Photons (MP).
BF: Brute Force: Subdivision (Sdv), Ray Depth (RD).
LC: Light Cache: Subdivisions (Sdv), Screen samples size (SSS).

Color Mapping: Type, Dark Mult., Bright Mult.

AA: (adaptative subdivision): min, max

The problem is that depending on the illumination of the scene and the algorithms used the text may be unreadable by default an d you may need to fine-tuning the materials.
If anyone has a full solution for this problem, please post it. I will agree any suggestion or enhacement.

P.D.: I think I must include the PhyCam settings.

Great! I thought that HUD Rendering did not work in Vray!!

[cogombo]

Ok, here is my expression with a real HUD. I added the phycam's parameters (White Balance is ON when the color is not equal to white (255,255,255) and is OFF if the color is white. I have also maintained the hud type text.

You can copy&paste the expression to another scene but you mus reassign the vraybridge post-effect to the object node inside the expression. Also you must reassign the physical camera tag if you use another.

Looks very great, however it shows up in my vieuwport, but not in my render. I activated Show/Render, am I missing something?

Thanks, Robert

You can open scene with hud and Merge it with yours scene.

[cogombo]

You must do de following:

1. Copy & paste the camera with his childrens and the Xpresso tag to another scene.
2. Add the "VrayBridge" post effect. Don't close the Render Setting's window.
3. Double click in the Xpresso tag to open the Xpresso Editor.
4. Select the big node on the left.
5. Drag the VrayBridge post effect (dragging directly in his name in the list of post effects) and drop it into the Reference box in the node's attributes (Attribute Manager).
6. Activate the "Render Headup Display" option (Render Settings > Options tab).
7. Select the Xpresso tag and in the Attribute Manager right-click on the text that says "Add this to HUD" and in the context menu select "Add to HUD".
8. Now the HUD is displayed in the viewport. Right-click on it and select "Show > Always" and "Show > "Render". Also you can deactivate this options from this context menu: "Display > Object, Name, Frame, Key".
9. You can move the HUD holding the CTRL key and dragging it to the desired location.
10. Render the pic!

yes, this works. but is there no way for moving the HUD to other render settings? if i load other stored (c4d) render presets with the assigned post effect "vraybridge", the hud dissapears as it is tied to the certain vraybridge setting. any idea?
cogombos version will allow copy&paste as described, but the download link is dead?

cheers, alex

[cogombo]

I have posted the new link. Is this: http://download.35mb.com/cogombo/Tiny_Info_HUD.rar

[cogombo]

Now I'm doing a new version where you can change the parameters directly in the HUD by CTRL+double-click on it. I think is useful for changing the parameters without going to VrayBridge each time you want to modify any of the main parameters.

I have posted the new link. Is this: http://download.35mb.com/cogombo/Tiny_Info_HUD.rar
