specific Vantage compatible material library

[eric_barbaron]

could be great and very useful to have a specific Vantage compatible material library in "Vray material library browser"

It will be easier for us to just support as much of the normal material library as possible.
That's what I think at least.

Hi Vladimir,
i agree with you, but it could let you more time to ajust all

Can you point to specific issues that you have with the materials from the library when using them in Vantage ?

I think the Vray mat library is okay. Except for a few incompatible nodes. Vantage is already ignoring them and I don't have to do major changes to make it look perfect in Vantage.

Hi Vladimir,
for example, a vraymtl with composite of several layers as diffuse map appears in vantage a single map...It doesn't display the all layers of the composite in reflexion

I can't see the images you posted, but based on the description you gave, this is most likely caused by "shading graphs" being disabled for GI/glossy reflection rays.
Instead, Vantage uses a simplified texture, as calculating the real shading graph can be much slower (up to 2 times or maybe even more depending on the graph).

We might want to revise the condition when shading graphs are disabled - for example do it only for reflection glossiness < some value.
So if you could send us the scene, it might be helpful in determining the best approach.

See screenshot for how you can enable shading graphs for GI/glossy rays.

Hi Vladimir,
thx for your reply.
It works now
