Vray GPU and Matte Shadow

[chadstevens]

I was trying to get the matte shadow to work on the GPU in Houdini 19.0.561 but it doesn't seem to work, am I doing something wrong, or has this not been implemented yet?

Cheers.

Dear chadstevens, hello.

Some changes were applied in our nightly builds after June 17 regarding this topic.
Highly appreciated will be to share the build number used (best will be V-Ray > About V-Ray > Copy to Clipboard and paste here) and a simple scene using V-Ray > Pack Scene, which could be uploaded here or via our contact form.

If you try with our latest builds and if Matte Surface is checked is there a difference?

Waiting for your answer.

Best regards,
TS

Here is the Vray build you requested, I believe it's the stable build.

V-Ray for Houdini number:23914 hash:a62975a from 13 Apr 2022 19:15
V-Ray Core 5.20.20 [18a43118] from 12 Apr 2022

Cheers.

Thanks.

Now we have alternatives:
⦿ checking latest nightly builds (we will provide access if needed) with your setup
⦿ sending a demo scene and we will made the compare tests for you and ensure that it is working now

How do you prefer?
