[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Heya

Is tehere vray sdk to write shaders or anything simmilar? - google didnt help me.

Id like to try and write a shader for vray see how it goes since atm in order to see what I want I'm using 8 blend materials which is quite bad...

Thanks, bye.

The SDK is included with every installation of V-Ray; you can find it in the c:\program files\chaos group\v-ray\3dsmax for ... folder. However it is in c++ and may be quite complicated. I'd recommend looking at the VRayGLSLMtl material for the next service pack (or the nightly builds) - it includes built-in BRDF calls and writing shaders with it is a lot easier (not to mention that it takes care of all the 3ds Max stuff like UI and so on).

Best regards,
Vlado
