Rendering vertex color in Vray

[Stebbing3D]

I have set up a Pflow system with instanced geometry that is colorized using vertex color.

It renders fine in scanline, but unfortunately not in Vray?

I have tried both standard and vray materials with the vertex color map in diffuse, but still only get black particles..

Hm, can you post I scene for this? I remember this was working at some point. Also which version of V-Ray is this?

Best regards,

The scene can be downloaded here http://rapidshare.com/files/35424193...COLOR_PROB.rar

Max 2010 x64 and Vray 1.5sp4a.. Scene uses a Krakatoa PRT loader and PFlow...

[vlado]

Hm, unfortunately I don't have either of these...

Hi Vlado,

The pflow stuff is basic, and is included in 3dsmax.. You actually only need the krakatoa demo - download it here:

You will need to repath the PRT loader to point at the test_2_0002.prt thats included in the zip.



Thanks,

Martin

if the next update takes longer than 2 months it would be very nice to have--

working on my bachelor thesis the next months and i am working with lots of colored particles

would be a shame to rely on scanline!

[phizikl]

yes to be honest, i would need to use it right now
using scanline sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and you wi ll appreciate the renderes i will show you
promise!

[Stebbing3D]

Hehe... Yes, I agree with Phizikl - think you will appreciate the renders a lot!

Vlado,
I have sent you 2 mails as you say, regarding the version that renders vertex color correctly but I haven't got any replies.
