Emissive materials in Vray doesn't work in Chaos Vantage

[Mala_suerte]

Hi,
Its working if you delete the Vray MTL and if you use only the emissive texture.

Hi jiminy-billy-bob,

Yes, the Emissive material is a generic material with an Emissive layer, but internally it is exported differently than if you have an additional V-Ray layer in the stack. That stack Vantage doesn't support.

Best regards,
Alexander

Well then I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can you check the attached screenshot?
(The whole store front is a single emissive material)

The issue is different here - Transparency option inside the Emissive material is currently not supported. Please check the supported parameters and materials here: https://docs.chaos.com/pages/viewpag...hino-Materials

If you remove the additional sprites(front and middle), uncheck Compensate EV and Increase the Intensity - the renders should match: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1vtjc...FqZX8h_BAQdvjx
It is not ideal for the RoomBox, but it is the current limitation and we will try to add support for transparency in the future.

Oh I see, thanks!
Indeed transparency would be quite useful.

Using 2.2.2 and still having this issue. This completely renders RoomBox plugin useless in Vantage. Bummer!

Hi Matthew,

Yes, we haven't still add support for transparency in the emissive material. I will try to bump the priority.

Hi amirhassan_razmara,

What version of V-Ray and SketchUp are you using? Does the live link not work only with the latest release of Vantage(2.2.2) or it doesn't work with the previous one as well(2.2.1)? Can you record a video of the issue because I cannot reproduce it on my end?

Best regards,
Alexander

Thank you for the bump on the priority list. It's one of the last wish list items to get VRay for SketchUp and Vantage working seamlessly!
