Notes about Buffers LightWave 2018 comes with a massive change in buffer management. Previously, there was a fixed set of buffers. as of LightWave 2018, the amount of buffers can vary since both materials as well as the user can add buffers if needed.

These are included in exrTrader for free, and may be used freely without registering exrTrader.

<https://github.com/Psyop/Cryptomatte> Cryptomatte (exrTrader Pro only) Cryptomattes - originally devised by Jonah Friedman and Andy Jones from psyop - allow you to store automatically generated mattes for all items or surfaces in a single OpenEXR image. These can then be extracted in a compositing application using freely available plugins.

Installation The download contains ZIP compressed files for all platforms supported by exrTrader. Extract the appropriate ZIP file for your platform. Windows The exrTrader2018.p file can be copied to any directory where you keep your plugins. We recommend using a manually created plugin directory to separate third party plugins from plugins shipped with LightWave 3D. This will simplify upgrades of LightWave 3D.

The file names can either be absolute, or relative to the Output Path Output Path This defines the base path for all written images. You can either use the path defined by LightWave 3D or select your own.

Presets Using the Presets pop-up you can apply any of your presets, save your current settings as a preset or delete existing presets. exrTrader has its own system to manage presets. The main reason for developing a custom system was to differentiate between user, global and project (content directory) specific settings.

Recommended Reading The OpenEXR website at www.openexr.com is packed with information about the OpenEXR image file format. We recommend downloading the “Technical Introduction to OpenEXR” PDF and at least having a quick look at it. We believe it explains some of the reasoning behind the design of exrTrader, and also give a great introduction to the capabilities of the image file format.
