Useful features in the feature :-)

[Jiri.Matys]

I know I tell already some features I would love to see. But I forget some so here is the list:

- new thin-walled translucency option with SSS amount
- standard glow/glare option as VRay has
- noise map and some other maps work as bump
- VRayDirt map
- gamma setting for HDR texture/lighting not ignored (great way how to change lighting and make it better)
- big textures work as smaller scale textures (not ignoring them as it is now)
- camera vignetting (really it is not implemented already?)
- glossy refraction
- VRayDistance map

Hi Jiri.Matys,

We have the thin-walled option(LAV-1046), Lens effects(LAV-1181), procedural textures for bump(LAV-485), VRayDirt map(LAV-569), color corrections for HDRs in environment(LAV-530), camera vignette(LAV-1552), VRayDistance map(LAV-1391) map logged in our system but I cannot provide an ETA on them but keep an eye out in the Announcement section of the forum where we post when new builds are available with their changelogs. I am happy to say that glossy refraction will be available in the next update.

big textures work as smaller scale textures (not ignoring them as it is now)

Do you mean textures that are larger than 16384px in any direction to be scaled on load at a resolution that can be rendered?

Best regards,
Alexander

Hi,

sorry for later reply, I was on vacation.

Great to hear that, cool.

Textures - probably yes. It is really big resolution, maybe I should scale them down for Vantage. But if it easy to make and doesnt take any more ram, it will be usefull.

[Jiri.Matys]

New Near and Far Decay Feature would be nice in Vantage.

[Jiri.Matys]

And please do you plan to add curve post proces layer?

[Alexander.Atanasov]

Hi Jiri.Matys,

We have the curves color correction(LAV-1182) and the new decay options for V-Ray lights(LAV-1510) logged in our system but I cannot give you an ETA at the moment. We will let you know when there is some development on the matter.

Best regards,
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

Can I ask you if the "rendering via link" feature for Cinema 4d will be available soon or if it is too early yet?
Thank you very much and good job

[Alexander.Atanasov]

Hi visualtracing__,

Rendering via Live link from Cinema 4D is currently in development by the V-Ray for Ciname 4D team and will probably be available in their next release or the one after.

Best regards,
Alexander

great news! Thanks so much

One more question. Do you plan to add VRayFur? Thank you.

One more question. Do you plan to add VRayFur? Thank you.

Yes, but can you tell us what kind of material you use with VRayFur ?
Also, do you use textures to specify length/thickness/gravity/etc for the fur generation ?

Yes and yes
I use it mainly for towel, plaid, blanket, carpet, fibers and so on. No grass or something like that. No big objects but still need a lot of hairs to cover object fully.
I use textures, but not exactly sure which exactly. I will look at it and let you know.

[vladimir.nedev]

What kind of material do you use on the fur - the standard VRayMtl or VRayHairNextMtl ?

It depends, mainly VrayMtl. I used HairNext only for hair. But maybe there are other usage for it.

[Jiri.Matys]

Please, do you plan to add crop rendering in Vantage? Or mask rendering or something?
Sometimes quality of the animation is very good but one object or one area is glitching or something and will be great if we can render just this area with better quality.
