Sampler broken, also Skin node in GPU

[andybot_cg]

Sampler is not working in June 15 build. Was working fine in June 3 build.

Skin node only works in CPU, not working at all in GPU. I can use SSS complex for the time being, but would like to have skin shader working in GPU.

(In case something big changed in the standalone, I am running a May 25 V-Ray 3.5 build. There don't seem to be new builds being uploaded the past week or so though.)

The skin shader effect can be achieved using the FastSSS2 material. Because of that we don't plan to add explicit support for the skin material very soon. Please use FastSSS2.

Best,
Blago.

savage309 Ok, thanks for letting me know. Yes, I was able to use SSS.

poseidon4o any idea about the sampler issue? Thx!

andybot_cg Can you test with latest nightly build 48c6eb6

[andybot_cg]

Thanks, last build is working. Looking forward to the 3.6 updates

andybot, so this features https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZsHTKNXwUw are not in the 2017 06 07 nightlies builds yes?

[andybot_cg]

No, seems to be a 3.5 based build. I was reacting to this: Not any more VRay Standalone nightlies since June 7th I assume there needs to be some under-the-hood rebuild to make 3.6 features work with Vray for Blender. Just guessing though, I haven't seen anything specific.

maybe finally cpu and gpu will be used and will be render speed improvements
