Online Reference + 2SidedMtl examples

[DrJan]

I get the feeling the examples in the online reference for the VRay2SidedMtl are still set for the old versions of VRay.

What is meant with Opacity: off for example? Is this the grey colour or the 0-100 box? And the same goes for the Translucency value.

[vlado]

Opacity there means simply opacity in the base V-Ray mtl material, not in the 2-sided material itself.

Ah, like that...

And the value in the reference (0.2 of 0.8 ) can be compared to 20 or 80 in the value spinner?

[vlado]

Like it says on the examples page, there is an Output map in the Opacity slot of the base VRayMtl; so the Opacity value refers to the Output amount parameter of the Output map.

Best regards,

Vlado,
Would it be possible to post the scene files used in making those examples? I seem to have a lot of trouble getting the 2sidedmtl to look as good as it does in those renders. It would be a huge help.

Noticed that diffuse is spelled as diffese

The VRayMtl (Front material) has a diffese Bitmap, and for the opacity - a procedural Output map.

Interesting... Any idea why the light source is visible in the reflection but not directly in this example?

[vlado]

But it is visible directly... at least I can see it in my monitor.

Best regards,

I can see it as well, there's just alot more contrast in the reflection due to the darker floor.

[re:FORM]

Oh sorry.... my mistake.

Ditto, please

[vlado]

I will have to ask about the files.
