Affect background doesn't work with Progressive sampler

[Alex_M]

I'm having problems with the Progressive sampler. If I use it, turning off Affect background in Color Mapping doesn't work. It renders as if I've turned it on. I'm using Vray 3.10.03 with Max 2016. Can anyone else confirm this issue? According to the following video, it should be compatible with all the features of the production renderer.

The progressive sampler does not support the "affect background" option. It doesn't support deep image output either. V-Ray will print a warning in both cases.

Thanks for the help, didn't know that. I will use the Adaptive sampler in this case then.

By the way, If I may make a suggestion. I think it would be good this limitation to be documented in the online help as a note at the bottom of this page. At first I thought I was doing something wrong since I didn't see this mentioned there.

Thanks again for the help!

Yes, will do that.
