F9 render not saving

[mash]

Hi, Thanks for writing the plugin for Lightwave.
I found a small bug, Not a big one just a little thing.
For some reason saving from the F9 render display does not work.
To recreate load a scence, Hit F9 to render,
When the display image comes up In the upper left hand corner go to
File
SaveRGBA
HDR_Xdepth
Give the image a name and hit save
No file is saved.

The regular F10 render works ok though.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
have you used "Image Viewer" or "Image Viewer FP" ?

XDepth only works with 96bit/pixel input images, thus saving with plain 24bit "Image Viewer" will not work. It doesn't rise an error, it just doesn't save anything.
With LightWave it's probably safer to use always "Image Viewer FP" since it saves both floating point and 24bit formats.

Please let me know if this was the issue.
If it was, then it's covered in the XDepth User Guide, otherwise might be a bug and we will investigate further.

Thank you for reporting.

Ah Thanks .
That's what it was I had Lightwave in the plain Render view mode and not FP.
I don't know if you can write in a check for that or if it's something Newtek has to do.
The only way you can tell is at the top of the render window it will Say
"128 bits" for the FP version.

Thanks,
Mike

Unfortunately this is not something we can know from LightWave.
XDepth is an "input-output" plugin, and as such it doesn't gather that kind of information from LW.

Moreover, LightWave output image buffers are always 128bit/pixel, it's just the plain "Image Viewer" that cuts the output to 24bit before passing it to an image saver, and we cannot know whether it's "Image Viewer" or "Image Viewer FP" sending us the output image.
