- | exrTrader has been thoroughly tested in production by us and our trusty beta testers. The main features of exrTrader are: | + | LightWave |
- | * standard | + | |
- | * standard LightWave Savers, supporting all save-able image types except for palletized images, does not require a license. | + | |
- | * a scene type master plugin for setting the image saver options, which are saved in the scene file. | + | |
- | * a dummy saver to enable network render managers to find saved files for success checks. | + | |
- | * an image filter plugin that allows to save arbitrary buffers to a single OpenEXR file that: | + | |
- | * either uses a custom output file, or the RGB output file defined in the render globals. | + | |
- | * supports all compression schemes defined by OpenEXR including lossy schemes. | + | |
- | * supports all output buffers generated by LightWave and exposed through the SDK. | + | |
- | * supports buffers that may consist of one (i.e. Depth), two (i.e. Motion), three (i.e. RGB) or more channels. | + | |
- | * offers separate naming options for channels and buffers in the OpenEXR file, this will translate to buffer.channel as defined in the OpenEXR specs. Either may be blank. | + | |
- | * supports different pixel types per channel. | + | |
- | * offers the processing of buffers (invert, min, max, scale, offset). | + | |
- | * supports OpenEXR metadata, including aspect ratio, comments, previews. | + | |
- | * data window support (for limited region renders). | + | |
- | * optional un-multiplication by the image alpha | + | |
- | * advanced preset system with “default” presets and custom preset directories | + | |
- | * network rendering support. | + | |
- | * plugins consist of one file per platform. | + | |
- | * “Q Approved!” and SWELL. | + | |
- | * Support for LightWave 3D metadata. | + | |
- | * Options to customize the export to match a variety of compositing workflows. | + | |
- | * Additionally save single buffers using any image format supported by LightWave 3D | + | |
- | * File and buffer names may contain variables that are replaced with the current values when saving. | + | |
- | * Support for naming the files created by stereoscopic rendering. | + | |
- | * Automatic creation of a data window within the exr files to speed up loading and filters in compositing applications that support a DoD. This is transparent to most other applications. | + | |
- | * A custom image viewer to inspect individual buffers | + | |
- | * free point upgrades, free support, free beer (( O.k., we're still joking about the beer... )). | + | |

+ | All of these are supported by exrTrader 2018. | ||

+ | We've added the concept of buffer groups to exrTrader to make it easier to work with the increased amount of buffers available now. | ||

+ | ===== Removal of VIPER ===== | ||

+ | Since VIPER has been removed, exrTrader now includes a [[exrtrader2018: | ||
