supported maps in RT

[eyepiz]

That would be great!
I mainly use RT GPU to set up lighting on interior scenes, it's also very helpful for making materials even at a slower speed in a open studio setup RT GPU would still be significantly faster than CPU, especially with the newer graphics cards now supporting 6 to 12 gigs of ram at insane speeds.

Thanks!

Will see if we can do that. In fact, I've been thinking of introducing several different kernels, with varying degrees of features vs speed; f.e. one that just does a grey material on everything, or one that only does direct lighting etc. We'll see.

Best regards,

The procedural noise doesn't appear to work in the bump slot.

The procedural noise is there actually, we forgot to put it in the changelog. We also have VRayDirt support for use with the ExtraTex element, but when we tried to support it for materials, the whole thing became like 30% slower whether you use it or not... it is frustrating.

Hi,
This is a known issue (it will not work for any procedural map actually).
We do have working a version of it internally. I hope it can make it for the final version, but I can't promise (we have to find a proper way to do it in order to avoid slow-downs even on scenes that are not using noise/noise for bump).
Best,
Blago.

Ok Thanks...It would be great to have, maybe as option, different build perhaps? even if its slower it still significantly faster than CPU...I'm sure a lot of us will be ok with a slow-down hit.

Unfortunately this implementation is not part of any builds yet.
We will update this thread as soon as we have it available for the nightly builds or 3.0 beta.
