Extra Material Render Element

[stevegh]

Hey guys,

I searched around and couldn't find a request for this, so if it already exists I apologize. The VrayExtraTex render element is very handy, but often time I find myself needing an extra material to come out of the render. Would it be possible to implement a VrayExtraMat render element?

Thanks

It is not impossible, but somewhat tricky. Antialiasing would be a problem too - i.e. which material should be antialiased? Antialiasing both could add a lot of unnecessary samples, if one material needs less samples than the other.

Best regards,
Vlado

Perhaps in thinking of the most common uses for the extra material we could come up with the most logical way to handle AA. My first guess would be just to use the assigned material for AA, and provide an override toggle in the render element to use that material for AA?
