NEw build : 0.52

Hi, all !

Here is a new build - 0.52

- solved problems around the \"gamma correction\" tool.
- refl/refr max depth is now 3 for minipreview, preview and draft instead of 1 and 2 for draft and medium respectively.

edit on 30/06/2008 :
Added :
- This 0.52 Works with Vray Demo version SP2 (tested on max 2009 + vray demo 1.5SP2)
- solved : 16*16 pixels intermittent bug
- solved : Gi button works well now.

Here are the changes made to gamma stuff in this SR version :
==============================================================

When you launch SR with a vray colormapping gamma value <>1.0, SR starts with gamma correction ON, with gamma value = vray colormapping gamma value.

Now, when you QUIT SR :

IF SaveOnexit = ON and SRgammacorrection = ON :

---

o Max enable gamma/lut = ON
o Max display gamma = 1.0 (like SR at rendertime).
o Note : SR automates gamma in this way for pure linear Workflow : while working (in viewports), SR uses a max gamma identical to SR gamma correction value to reflect viewports and material editor actual gamma. But, due to Max VFB, when you render with SR the max system gamma is temporary set to 1.0 to avoid double gamma in max vfb)
o Max input gamma = SR gamma value
o Vray colormapping gamma = SR gamma value

- IF SaveOnexit = ON and SRgammacorrection = OFF :

---

o Max enable gamma/lut = Olduservalue (before SR starts)
o Max display gamma = Olduservalue (before SR starts)
o Max input gamma = Olduservalue (before SR starts)
o Vray colormapping gamma = Olduservalue (before SR starts)

- IF SaveOnexit = OFF :

---

o Restaure all Old Vray user values (Before SR starts)
o Max enable gamma/lut = Olduservalue (before SR starts)
o Max display gamma = Olduservalue (before SR starts)
o Max input gamma = Olduservalue (before SR starts)
o Vray colormapping gamma = Olduservalue (before SR starts)

Like This, SR Gamma handling is really consistent and logical.

Now, if you apply a gamma in solidrocks, check save on exit, and close, then on the next Sr opening it will detect gamma correction and autoactivate gamma correction button with correct gamma.
Is you decide to don't use it at all, and if your gamma lut is OFF before opening SR, then it will be OFF all the time, while using SR and After.
Notice that it works better with max2008 (in max 9 I have no possibility to activate max on/off gamma, it needs to be made manually)

Hope you'll like, working on the next things
