Opacity Maps not calculated in Zdepth/Velocity pass

[miguelortega]

I recently purchased vray from trinity 3D , we are rendering a Huge garden scene that we originally rendered in MR,
all our foliage, grass is using Opacity maps, our renders are not calculating the opacity in the Z depth or velocity passes.
i've read this issue has been resolved in 3DS max , Was wondering how this can be addressed in Maya.

the rendertimes are already huge, so id like to keep it as fast as possible.


2.) also on this note is there any settings that can optimize rendering thousands of opacity maps?

I think this should be fixed for newer builds; as for the opacity maps, it may help to turn off the filtering.

Hi Vlado are there any certain things you need in order to "qualify" for the nightlies (apart from having a V-Ray licence of course)?

[miguelortega]

well i have been trying and i get no response, so maybe more then just a license

[vlado]

I couldn't do much over the weekend; I've just emailed you though.

Hi Vlado,

So where are we at with getting opacity maps generating correct render elements for zdepth, velocity and normals?

It will be fixed for the nightly builds on Monday.
