Vray Material Opacity support in viewport

[Midiaeffects]

I find really annoying the fact that vray material doen't properly show Opacity in the viewport like max standard materials. So working with alpha textured cards may become difficult and confusing.

Please add support for it...

Eugenio

Why is this so difficult to implement? Just curious.

The initial viewport display system for 3ds Max was very poorly documented and we had lots of trouble to get even what we have now to work in a stable way. Autodesk are currently rewriting the viewport system (e.g. the new hardware shading mode was added) and when this process is complete, it will be a lot easier to get proper VRayMtl renderings in the viewport.

Best regards,

Any completion estimate for this from Autodesk? Max 2012?

I'm afraid I can't say anything more than that (NDAs and so on).

Best regars,
