Multiple Outputs for OSLTex

[Rens]

Hi,

Would it be possible to have multiple outputs for the OSL texture map?
I noticed that the Substance Bitmap2Material map has multiple outputs available through the 'Additional Params', which is a separate rollout in the Slate editor. Another option would be to make it available to the Map Output Selector map, which is again made for Substance maps it seems.

This way you can output say a ground texture and a bump map or a mask at the same time, without having to duplicate the map, which will hopefully save on render time as well. For example you could populate a VRayMtl with just one map.

Thanks!
Rens

I have been informed by our developer who work on the OSL implementation that this require more work and most probably it will be available in our future releases.

Many thanks.

Hi, has there been any progress on this by any chance?
It would be very helpful with for example the Interior Mapping shader to get several different masks out without having to duplicate the node several times (and changing settings several times).

Thanks!
Rens
