bump map not working

[tobiasroesli]

Hi,

the newest nighly I used gives me an error: Warning: Unsupported bump type(6) in "material_name"

I tried to render a old file and it won't render the bump on it.

Bump map is very weak in the old you might not see it without zooming in.

anyone having the same problems?

Looks like all the Dev's are on Vray 7

Hi tobiasroesli thank you for letting us know. Could you please share the file with us so we can take a look?

Does it happen with a new scene as well?

Hey viktor_angelov

I need some time to test it any further. I can provide you the files Friday/Saturday.

Cheers

Hello tobiasroesli , renders for new V-Ray build and the one from April are the same, warning message also.

Hi viktor_angelov chakarov

I send the files to georgy.chakarov@chaosgroup.com and support@chaosgroup.com.

I rendered the project with the Houdini nighly version 22687 and it all worked.
My customer then asked for some additional renderings and I was on nighly build 22702 that time but all the bump maps were not working.

Cheers

tobiasroesli Thank you for sharing the files with us! We will investigate further and let you know what we find.

Hello tobiasroesli as we discussed in the ticket this will soon be working the way you expect. The matter has been logged into our system [HOU-4253]

Hi viktor_angelov thanks, I used an older build to render it but it's good to know that this may occur with older scenes and bump map / triplanar.

Thanks for the help!

Just for the records if anyone having this problems. This was written from viktor_angelov in my support ticket:

Hello Tobias,

I have discussed the matter with the Dev team. To make it more accurate and internally organized, this past month, changes in the Triplanar had been done. This is leading to a different final outcome for certain old scenes with Bump Map in it.

What we can offer is to render with an older build or re-do the Bump.

You can find the Houdini Stable builds here: https://nightlies.chaos.com/main#/vr...ini/stable/6.2

Cheers
