Normal Errors

How is it going with the implementation?
The convert Normal Map script works but it has issues with multi-sub objects and blend materials as it makes an instance of the first normal map and slots it out to all material that uses normalmaps in that object.
Best way if you guys could just post a script here ASAP as you removed the compatibility with the standard normalmap.

We haven't remove the compatibility with the standard normal map. In 3.30.05 VRay print out those warnings because we had many issues with Normal map and VRay specific geometries like VRay proxies in example that we did not manage to fix.
Generally you can ignore those warnings and continue using standard normal map.

My last project was listing over 8000 normal errors.

watch out for this warning, in our environment this seems to cause the IM pass to freeze after completition before the final rendering

Same thing happens here. Thanks for pointing that out!

stil getting one or two even after running the script

Me too... yesterday I had one that was over 20 thousand errors. I screen grabbed it, but thought it was a moot point. Chaos knows about it, so they'll fix it sooner or later. They say to ignore it, so I'll just do what they say.

hmm but makes me wonder if it affects the render time and material errors

Vlado mentioned that it takes resources to display it, but I can't imagine much.
