Vray Toon as extra text or separate render pass.

[AC5L4T3R]

Right now I have an animation where I'm rendering the objects with an "x-ray" effect and using the VrayToon effect to get a nice outline of the objects. At the moment I have to render the animation twice - once without the effect active and a second time with the effect active so I can get the VrayAtmosphere pass for the lines. Would be great if I didn't have to do this

+1 Would be very useful

Hi,

Actually this was requested before, but seems to be somewhere down of the list. I will try to bump-up it's priority.

+1 on this ! we dropped the idea of outlines due duble render

edit: did you ever tried to use a ExtraTex_map with a Dirt map as a material in passes? if you play with the settings in a dirt map...you can achuve something that might help...

Thanks.. any chance it could be done by tomorrow?

I don't know how much time will take this implementation and I can't guarantee this will be fixed so soon. Let me check that with our dev team.

I'd vote fo this feature too!

[tashko.zashev]

We will try to make it for the next official SP release.

Wow, great ! I think I asked that more than five years ago

Good things come to those who wait.

Any news regarding this feature? It would greatly speed up my workflow if I could render the toon as an element and not in the RGB.

3.6 is out but reading the release note it doesn't seem that this feature was implemented.

[Zdravko.Keremidchiev]

This feature is available since 3.50.02 release. You can see it in the log:
(*) VRayToon: Ability to store the toon outlines in a separate render element;

Ok, yes. I thought the OP wanted the Toon effect to appear ONLY as a render element without affecting the beauty pass.

Correct. That's what I'm after as well. Seems like it "should be easy enough", but those are probably every developers most hated words.
