NormalMap / Composite / Blend

[alex.nozadze]

why this materials are not compatible with vray ?
for NormapMap there is converter, but not for Composite and Blend - can someone advise something ?
thank you !

We will be adding conversion of Blend materials to VRayBlendMtl materials, but the Composite material has options that we don't have in our V-Ray specific matrials.

The reason why these materials/maps are listed as incompatible is that they may slow down your render (sometimes by a lot) or introduce other issues (f.e. the NormapMap causes issues with VRayProxy objects and we can't fix this on our end).

Best regards,

Oh, didn't know the Composite map was slamming the breaks... any plans for a (multi-layer) VrayCompositeMap, including transfer modes?

Edit: Oh, this was about the Composite material, not the map, right? Although I've noticed the map not working properly in VRayRT.

I meant the Composite material. The map is fine.

Can you get us examples where it doesn't work properly to support@chaosgroup.com so that we can fix them?

We're in mid-production right now, so I'll try to put something together afterwards.
