Do you know how to render Ambiant Occlusion in Render Channel with last build ?

[bdancer]

ArnaudT, Create ExtraTex render channel node and plug Dirt texture into it.

Hi guys,

Blender 2.78 is officially released.
Would be possible to update blender sources in the Vray/Blender branch, please?
https://lists.blender.org/pipermail/...er/047693.html

Current blender sources used in nightlies builds are a bit unstable and 2.78 came with a lot of bug fixes and "ID remapping" feature.

Thanks!

Good request leandro_cs,
I hope that Chaos will mantain a bit of love to Blender, at least to resolve the bugs we discover...

After a long period of tests, production workflow prototyping and so on I'm in the middle of the river where I'm quite prepared to switch to Vray4Blender for everyday works...and I'm a bit scared to put this into the trashcan...

Vlado told us the reason for this slowdown, I know...but I'm always hopeful that situation will change in a positive way.

Yes please! Let's get a good 2.78 version for Vray for Blender. I am also transitioning to Blender for production, and I'm having to use older versions for stability. I have an April build installed on one machine so I can convert imported assets to vray nodes since it's broken in the newer builds. There's quite a trail of unresolved bugs that have been accumulating since development has focused elsewhere in Chaos Group. https://github.com/bdancer/blender-for-vray/issues

Please, please, with a cherry on top, let's put Vray for Blender right up there with Max and Maya!

[joan]

I second that!

I'm planning to move to Vray3 with an extra render node, but these lately bugs don't help me to do the step forward. And seriously, Blender deserves a professional render engine like Vray, the more I work with it the more I like it (recently did a job with max and was a nightmare).

Come on!

[andybot_cg]

I see there's a new build posted, sweet! Checking out the 2.78 install now. Thanks

[kontrolermpl]

I want to say, that I use Blender Vray to every day work and I'm waiting still to get this stuff with full support (RT and procedural texture preview ad so on). If we will be patient we'll get it!

[bardo]

yes, I'm confident that Blender development will continue...and the new build is a good thing

[leandro_cs]

Thanks Chaosgroup for the new build.
Everything is working nicely without crashes.
