I could be stupid but does vray normals in render to texture not work?

[joconnell]

It seems like with this the vertices of the object are put into world space, a camera is set up above the object and it gets rendered, so if you've a totally unwrapped object your normals end up all the same colour. I'm having a quick look at ddo which needs normals as input but it seems to be broken for the likes of this. Any thoughts?

[joconnell]

Yep, being stupid, only works with projection from low to high poly bits. I don't work in games to it's all new to me

Heh, glad you figured it out

It kind of seems odd in some ways though that you aren't offered local or world space normal options, I can see both being really useful for direction driven materials and it's not as if a standalone high poly object without projection doesn't have it's own normals. Seem like the sampler info tex map will pop out something similar (whether it's correct or not I don't know) but it's a bit of an odd one!

Yes, we should probably add the VRaySamplerInfo render element...
