The Layers panel in V-Ray Frame Buffer provides a new powerful workflow for making adjustments to your rendered image. You can bring out render elements and compose them together with individual color corrections in the panel's Composite mode, or deconstruct light contribution in the scene and fine-tune each light individually in the completed render using the VRayLightMix mode. You can also color correct the final render just like you were able to do in the previous version of VFB. For more information on how to work with the Layers, see VFB Composite courseware page.

ICC file – Specifies the full path to the ICC file.

Profile cached – When loading an ICC file, this checkbox indicates whether the file is smaller or bigger than a given threshold of 64k. If the file is smaller than 64k, the checkbox is enabled to indicate that the ICC file is directly embedded in the scene. If the loaded file is bigger than 64k, the checkbox is inactive, which indicates that you have to set the correct path to load it.

Rendering Intent – Specifies an ICC color replacement scheme. You can choose from from PerpetualRelative colorimetricAbsolute colorimetric, and Saturation.

Back Black point compensation –  Enables back black point compensation. This is a method of creating adjustments between the maximum black levels of digital files and the black capabilities of various digital devices.

LightMix needs to be added to the render elements for this mode to be available. Alternatively, LightMix can be added inside the VFB. Click on the Add LightMix to the scene option. Start a new render to apply the changes.

When the Source is set to LightMix, you can enable/disable lights and adjust light intensity and color during and after the render. The modifications can be saved as light mix presets and reused. Start a new render and VRayLightMix automatically creates Environment and Self Illumination render elements. See the LightMix page and the VFB Light Mix courseware page for more information and examples.



Reset – Resets all changes made to default values.

Save – Saves the changes as light mix preset.

Load – Loads a light mix preset.

To scene – Applies the current VRayLightMix changes to the scene. This sends all changes to colors/intensities back to the scene lights.

To Composite – Sends the Light Selects from LightMix to Composite for additional post adjustments.

Checkbox – Enables/Disables the selected light.

Size – Determines how much of the image's edge is affected. The size is relative to the image resolution.

Feather – Controls how defined is the edge of the vignette. Smaller values make the transition sharp, while larger values make the transition effect soft.

Inverted – Inverts the vignette effect.

Smoothness – Controls how smooth the outer edge of the Feather effect is.

Aspect ratio – This option is available when Match image aspect option is disabled. It gives a manual control over the aspect ratio.

The plug-in uses a fast multi-threaded technique to compute the result and provide immediate update in V-Ray VFB. V-Ray Lens Effects are applied in the effectsResult channel together with other post effects executed over the RGB rendered image. See the Lens Effects page for more information on the individual parameters of this layer.
