VRayBlendMaterialSupport

[Jiri.Matys]

I try that support in VRayRT GPU (and CPU) and nothing happen. Very simple scene with plane object for test this support. Have BlendMaterial with two VRayMtl and one bitmap texture as a blend. But nothing happen.

And second question, which procedural texture is supported with bake? I try tile and it work, but nothing else (noise, stucco, smoke...).

Works for me. You can post a scene if you like. Will post a full list of textures later. /Vlado

I really dont get it. Make another scene so I can mail it to you and now it works. Hope it will be working from now.

And another 1) question about RT CPU/GPU. VRayLight Material with some texture on it and enabled Direct Illumination is not supported?? I get only white, no texture.

And one more 2) question. Is it possible to have a jpg image which RT doesnt load up? Maybe it was the problem why previously blend material didnt work and now I have another scene with a flower and texture doesnt show up. But its a standard VRayMtl with reflection glossiness, nothing fency.

For a 2) question, RT (GPU) really didnt load a jpg texture, another texture and flower was fine. I look up and try to resave the texture if that helps.

Ok, let me know if this comes up again.

And another 1) question about RT CPU/GPU. VRayLight Material with some texture on it and enabled Direct Illumination is not supported?? I get only white, no texture.

It should work as a regular light material (i.e. the illumination will come from GI only). Textures work for me on a simple test. If you have a scene where it doesn't please let me know.

It might be possible, if it is a jpg format that we don't support (f.e. I don't think we do grayscale jpg's at the moment).

It seems I found out the problem for all. Its associated to a textures, but not textures themselves, but to the names of a directories. Iam from Czech Republic and sometimes use a special character for our language in a directory names. And VRay RT cant handle these special characters in directories names when loading the textures. This is why all of that didnt work, textures wasnt load up. Do You think is there a way how to avoid that?

[vlado]

Yes, will fix it for the nightly builds.

Thank You, please let me know there which first build will fix that. Thanks a lot.

I have another question about VRayBlend, but as I find out, its not only Blend problem. The output map doesnt work and output in bitmap doesnt work either. So we cannot use this functions as Invert, Color map, RGB Level and Offset and so on in GPU mode. I think this features have to work in RT GPU. In CPU mode works fine.

[Jiri.Matys]

Please, is it normal that these function of bitmap map doesnt work in VRay RT GPU?

[vlado]

They are not implemented and they don't work for the moment.

OK, thanks Vlado.
