Vray 3.50.03 - Incorrect Zdepth

[ILS]

Using max 2017 , vray 3.50.03
Zdepth comes out all white, "use camara clip boundaries" is on.

I don't think I have seen this, do you have an example scene?

This is linked to the physical camera clipping plane option. If the clipping plane on the camera is on - zdepth is fine, if the clipping plane is turned off - zdepth is like alpha, all white.

This is how it should work. When the camera clipping is off, ZDepth receives default values for min=0 and max=1000000000.

Is it critical for your workflow to take those values with disabled clipping toggle?

Hello,

I can't check right now, but AFAIR, the camera clipping values were taken into account even with clipping being off (v3.40.03). Using camera clipping setting can be useful for zdeth setup, and then we set it off. Is this a new v3.5 behavior ?? we haven't updated yet, deadline due wednesday, but it seems pretty critical to me.

Hm, you are right. It will be fixed.

Hm, you are right. It will be fixed.

Thanks a lot !
This is indeed pretty important, when you deal with several cameras in one scene, thus allowing to set up a custom zdepth by camera ...
