cebas Visual Technology announced the immediate availability of psd-manager 4.0 - the multi-layer PSD exporter for Autodesk 3ds Max. The update provides new features and support for 3ds Max 2017

New Features:


Adjustment layers for a non-destructive workflow


  -Save 3ds max Gamma correction as precise Photoshop Adjustment Layer in the PSD file
  -  -Precisely matches 3ds max Gamma correction
  -  -Allows to correctly compose render elements in linear space within 8/16 bit PSD files

  -Save V-Ray color corrections as Adjustment Layer (embedded LUT)
  -  -Start tonal adjustments in the V-Ray framebuffer, then improve or revert as needed within Photoshop

Improved Render Elements Output:
  -New Auto-Sort mode keeps layers organized continuously
  -Render elements can now be encloed into a global layer group
  -Per render element control over Gamma correction and V-Ray color corrections
  -Updated built-in presets for over 200 render element types

Named Selection Sets Output:

  -3ds max Named Selection sets can now be used for quick and easy creation of masks
  -User friendly, since no IDs need to be assigned to create masks for arbitrary groups of objects
  -Masks can be exported as layers (Alpha Matte, Luminance Matte, Render Cut-out) or channels

Corona Renderer Support:

  -psd-manager now supports Corona (Rendered Image Output and Render Elements Output)
  -Built-in presets apply correct blending mode, layer visibility, layer order etc. for all Corona render elements
  -Auto-sort mode ensures Framestamp, Beauty, Bloom & Glare are on top of the stack and all Masking and Light Select elements stay among their own kind
  -Automatic Corona CMasking_Mask render element splitting & naming

V-Ray specific improvements

  -Optimized workflow for V-Ray Denoiser
  -  -Denoiser elements are automatically arranged on top of other layers
  -  -Gamma correction is applied to Denosier layer but not to elements that need to stay in linear space for back-to-beauty compositing
  -  -Optionally exclude render channels generated by V-Ray Denoiser from export
  -Export V-Ray color corrections as Color Lookup Adjustment Layer (LUT based)
  -New built-in presets for V-Ray Render Elements (Denoiser, NoiseLevel, MtlReflectIOR, OptionRE )
  -V-Ray color corrections are automatically applied to specific render elements only (RGB, Denoiser, ObjectSelect, MtlSelect)
  -V-Ray color corrections can be enabled per render element
  -VRayMtlSelect and VRayObjectSelect elements now use layer transparency by default

PSB Format support (Photoshop Large Document Format):

  -Creation of Photoshop documents over 2 gigabytes in file size or 30000 pixels in resolution is now supported
  -Automatic switching to PSB format when the limits of the PSD format are exceeded (no re-rendering required)

Improved Scene Layers Output:

  -List of scene layers is now shown as a hierarchy, sorted and resizable
  -Scene layers appear in order of the flattened hierarchy in the PSD file.
  -Empty layers are filtered out even when objects are just obscured or outside the field of view

Other new Features and Changes:

  -3ds max 2017 support
  -Custom dithering algorithm to avoid noticeable patterns of standard 3ds max dithering
  -Option to show or hide all masking layers
  -Support for ART Renderer render elements export (added workaround for ART bug)
  -Simplified deployment and updates using Cebas Product Manager

Pricing & Availability


psd-manager 4.0 is now available at the cebas shop starting from 5$/5€ a month (one year license). Licensing options now include both perpetual (Full 159$ / Upgrade 79$) and rental licenses. Prices may vary depending on the region you are located in. All purchases of psd-manager 3 made in 2016 will be upgraded to psd-manager 4 at no charge.
