Show Buffers Preview (Image Viewer)

VIPER, which was used by exrTrader to preview buffers, has been removed from LightWave 3D. This is why we added a custom viewer for rendered buffers.

Title Bar

The title bar of the window displays:

  • The name of the current buffer
  • The way it is saved
  • The pixel data type (when saved as an OpenEXR image)
  • The extent of the data window of the current buffer
  • The values of a picked pixel if the user has clicked on the image

Toolbar

Buffer

Selects a different buffer to view.

Channel

Selects a single channel, or all channels, to view.

P

Toggles the processing of the buffer. This uses the settings of the processing tab of the buffer.

N

Normalises the view. Basically this makes sure that the pixel values within the image are completely distributed in the visible range.

CS

Allows the selection of a different colour space. By default, the Display colour space is used.

Zoom

Changes the zoom factor of the image

Fit

Toggles automatic fitting of the image to the viewer. Even if the window is resized. The image will be made to fit proportionally, leaving blank space if required.
