2019MAX advanced wood

[Penry]

Hi everyone,
Anyone had any problems rendering the new Advanced wood in Vray RT? It renders fine in production render but I get a grey material in RT...?

Hello,

The Advanced wood texture is not supported in V-Ray GPU. You can see the full list of supported textures here:

Best regards,

Thanks Yavor - are there any thoughts/plans to try and add support in the future please?

Cheers,

John

We are considering a few options for wood textures for the future releases.

I see Advanced Wood still isn't supported in V-Ray GPU. I was wondering if there are any current workarounds or alternative solutions for achieving good looking wood textures in 3ds Max with V-Ray GPU? Also, any news on when Advanced Wood will be compatible with GPU?

You can use the OSL implementation of the Advanced Wood texture (in the OSL category). I believe it should give you the same result, here is a quote from the Max docs:

Advanced Wood The implementation of the Advanced Wood map as an OSL shader. The representation in the viewport matches the render.

Your other option is to use BerconWood, part of the Bercon maps package.
