Extra Buffer nodes
- Thread starter dpont
- Start date
Have updated (x32) ExtraBuffer nodes,
UNC paths for saving image buffer files failed (I think),
please send me a confirmation here to know if it works
in a "real" network, thanks.

Thanks Dennis, I have been getting the same saving problems before but ill try it with this one.
Can someone with a network test these out please.....
One other problem Ive had is getting a small pixel offset when using the buffers as compared to a render (of the same) with the node image filter turned off. Seems also that using the shader on any object in the csne results on only half the processors capacity being used?? This happened to me on a quad core and a dual core.
In all, its a very usefull shader. I wish Newtek would integrate it throughout.

The pixel offset issue is in Pixel Filter Node Editor. Image Filter NE has not that problem here.

Oh, thank you Denis. Btw, is possible to make something similar with the Pixel Filter NE?

Updated (x32) Extra Buffer nodes
Fixed differences between classic and ACT camera in luminosity
with Classic Motion Blur.
Since my configuration was still not optimized
The actual x64 version could be different (an error
from me in the sources), the x64 will be updated later.

A BUG PLANET.
A few things i've found.
1. If the surface with a buffer on it is blocked by something or not seen in a frame, it won't output a file.
2. If the surface with a buffer is reflected on another surface, it will do that in the buffer output which is great, but it doesn't consider the reflection amount. So for example, if you have a ball with a constant colour for a buffer, and a ground with 10% reflection, it will show up in the buffer as 100% reflection, not 10%.

1-...Blocked by something !? What ? Yes, at least a spot must be
evaluated to init a buffer, or it will be ignored.
2-...How do you think Extra Buffer could know your settings?
Store Extra Buffer is only for storing a node output, there are
cases, which need some adjustments in your node setup or
a trick, but some details or scene+objects could help here.

First, the input alpha of ImageFilter node editor didn't work
properly, this has been fixed in the last x32 update,
I don't see a Store ExtraBuffer node in your surface node setup,
but I supposed you want input in the alpha buffer something
like your reflection texture layer, but the nodal system doesn't
provide any access to the classic texture
(except in the experimental Shader node editor with the Spot Surface node in the Beta forum...),
but you could use the Render Buffer node in IFNE to output the LW Mirror buffer in alpha (you need to check the Mirror box in the rootpanel),
or move your texture reflection settings in the node editor and
ouput them in a Store ExtraBuffer node.

where do I find each of the nodes on my system, in particular the render buffer node....
