V-Ray 3.0 For 3ds Max Updates

[vlado]

This sounds nice. How much "faster" are we talking about, though? And does this also apply to rendering proxies included in multiscatter/forest pack setups?

If the proxies are a big part of the scene, about 30% speed improvement. This will get slightly better for the next updates too. ForestPro and MultiScatter will need to be recompiled with the new SDK to take advantage of that improvement. The guys at Itoo made a build for us and it seemed to get a nice speed boost.

You mention this so casually.... usually I read this stuff as "with very specific setups we measured a speed improvement of 1,1% - 1,55%".

Haha I was thinking the same thing!

Any chances of adding a bitmap slot to the VrayScatterVolume mtl? Just to tint the shader, nothing too complex... That would be REALLY usefull! =)

Yes, it's on the "to do" list.
