Actually, I manage that a bit different, First create an RGBA pixel buffer in memory and apply all filters i need to it then load that buffer inside 3dsmax framebuffer, with any change i just apply changes to RGBA image buffer then reload memory buffer in 3dsmax framebuffer again.
It's the most effective way that i use most the time and works like a charm.

I just add Lux Camera into 3dsmax cameras and i have a quick question here, Can anyone explain to me what's the difference between Shutter speed and Shutter open + Shutter close?

Here is a screenshot of the new cameras and parameter that will support in 3dsmax.

Dade and BYOB are better for that. i'm always walking with simple camera + linear tonemapper .

scene.camera.shutteropen and scene.camera.shutterclose are properties used for motion blur.
For object motion blur, you define some motion blur transformations: https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/LuxCore_ ... otion_Blur
The "time" properties of these transformation steps correspond to the shutteropen/close settings.

I would leave this topic for later, motion blur is quite tricky to implement.

By the way, shutteropen/close does not change the brightness of the image, it is only for motion blur.
The luxlinear tonemapper has an "exposure" setting that controls the brightness, but it's basically just a multiplier: https://wiki.luxcorerender.org/LuxCore_ ... _LUXLINEAR

So basically we do not support shutter speed in luxcore as it intends to work with light and it has no effect on light/exposure/brightness, however its just effects on motion blur.
Am i right here?

You can decide in your plugin if you want to couple the two or not.
In LuxCore they are separate for lighting and for motion blur.

Camera modifier is fixed and ready to use. camera modifier


The new camera interface is finished and loads correctly in 3dsmax (Still need more work to work with renderer) Camera object

Very nicr to have thoses updates. Like loooking at a beautifull interior plant growing up.

The good news is LuxCamera is almost done, the most important part of LuxCamera works with LuxCoreRenderer and exactly as is spouse to work inside 3dsmax viewport. I decide to have a minor update soon to change the shape of the camera inside viewport so it will be unique for LuxCore but it's not that important for now.
The bad news is i found a serious issue with the old plugin that causes none of the lights and meshes work probably as expected except for the new materials and lights that i create early, I checked the last forum archive and i found these issues have been there since the beginning, so I'm going to fix light and mesh part then i'll be focussing on other parts like adding LuxCore light objects and more. it doesn't matter how much i try with last code, lights and meshes not going to work correctly except on special circumstances. Especially on the direct light area and segments on the edge of shadows.
I'll do more investigating on these issues and let everyone know the result.
