V-Ray Clipper Question

[smashley]

Looking for a SIMPLE way to do render time booleans. V-Ray distance texture with multiple objects becomes WAY too complicated. The V-Ray clipper is cool but appears to be just a plane. Is there any way to use an object or multiple object as a V-Ray clipper? Or is there some tool in development I could beta test on this art piece?

Thanks,

We are working to add support for arbitrary meshes as clipping surfaces to the V-Ray clipper, but unfortunately this is not ready yet.

Best regards,

Thanks for the lightning fast reply Vlado. I'm sorry to hear that it's not ready. I would LOVE to use it on an upcoming art piece. It would have been really cool.

You can use vraydistancetex in the opacity slot. The drawback is that your object will be hollow, it doesnt fill the inside between the edges

The vray distance texture trick is great for simple stuff, but can get out of hand quickly with complicated scenes. Really hoping V-Ray Clipper will support arbitrary meshes soon!
