Any way tp access BSDF lighting components inside a shader?

[pablo_rohtau]

Hello.
Not sure if it is possible to do this, I couldn't find the way so far.
So in Mantra I can use a PBR Diffuse to calculate the diffuse lighting and then connect the BSDF(F) to a compute light VOP and convert that F into a color and opacity.
I can use this color in my shader to mask other operations.
Is there any way to get this in a Vray shader? Any way to calculate the diffuse, or specular BSDF and convert it into a color?
Thanks

Hello pablo_rohtau and sorry for late reply. Is this what you looking for https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...face+Luminance ?

Yep.
One thing, that samples parameter ... that means that when I use this shader the sampling is independent from the render settings sampling?
Thanks.

Yes, it is sampling control for V-Ray Surface Luminance texture only
