Microfacet GGX and vrayblendmtl renders object invisible

[Pixelcon]

Seems like the a blend material breaks when used with a GGX material in any of the layers. The object renders invisible (and the the mat editor preview too for that matter).

Using vray_adv_30505_max2014_x64_24415

Yes, will fix it.

Vlado please give us a GGX kind of shader build-in in Vray.
I always envy Mental ray for this kind of cool hightlights and mimic them with a VrayBlend Material superimposing a hard and an softer highlight and reflection. But this is cumbersome and slower.
This kind of BRDF seams too good to only be a plug-in.

It's already in the 3.0 nightly builds and we'll add it in one of the next official versions.
