Houdini 20: LOPS: Background Plate (does it work with V-Ray?)

[stevejjd]

Hi all,
me again.

I played around with the "backgroundPlate" lops node. Link Background Plate (sidefx.com)

I can only seem to get it working with Karma. Is there a way to get somethnig like this going for VRay?

Thanks
Steve

We not fully support this node, but we support "Holdout Mode" parameter this node is setting up. You could use Dome Light environment tab for textures.
I'll add background plate texture file path support in the next nightly build.
Shadow LPE's of background plate node are not supported.
