Vantage - Carpaint flakes

[martin_weiss]

Hello, I am working in the automotive industry - Car Design visialization with Maya 2023 + Vray 6. I really like Vantage very much in the new version and we would like to use Carpaint with Flakes in Vantage, too, which is crucial for the automotive visualization. Do you plan to be included in near future ? Thank you.

Hello, I personally use this method for flakes: create normal and alpha texture from some cylinders scatter and after that playing in mat with some composite, falloff and coat (dont know how maps called in maya). Maybe it can work for you too

Thank you very much for the idea. I will try it definitely

Do you Nikola, as the Vantage developer, thinking about something similar as it is at the Vray Carpaint Mtl with the possibility of different settings ?

I don't know. This is for the product managers to decide. So far our focus has been mainly on archviz, but we'll see.

I think, it is definitely worth to be implemented. Vantage has a great potential, but it would need to have some next key features to be added and finished - Carpaint Flakes (not only for a car, but e.g. snow, etc., ), VrayLigthMesh, Light linking. Then another field of usage will be opened for Vantage and I think, it is that, what all we wish. Ok, thanks. You are doing great job, guys
