blendimg


This little program can be used to blend multiple images together. Originally it was designed to blend images produced by the photon mapping engine of V-Ray when you need to shoot an enourmous amount of photons. It can also be used to sort of render progressive path tracing in distributed rendering mode, where you blend the PPT images produced from several different machines.

vrscene dehexer


This tool can be used to un-hex vrscene files written with hex-encoded transform and/or mesh data. The resulting un-hexed vrscene is written out separately. Another use for the tool is to compare vrscenes and return a status (false) if they are different.

Usage: Run the executable from a command prompt.

  • to un-hex a vrscene, use the -u flag. Example: vrscene_dehexer.exe -u source.vrscene result.vrscene.
  • to compare vrscenes, use the -d flag. Example: vrscene_dehexer.exe -d scene1.vrscene scene2.vrscene.
  • run the program without arguments to print a help message.
