Hi, please make Vray upport MaterialX. https://www.materialx.org/

With the upcoming USD in Houdini. It's make sense!!

I'm also interested in this topic. Is the development team looking into MTLX, or is Vray already committed on MDL? Could they be complimentary in some way?

Hello,

We're actively working on Solaris support in Houdini (there's already a lot of progress in the nightly builds) and direct USD rendering in Maya. We're keeping an eye on MaterialX and how things are shaping up there. We've also been keeping in touch with the guys from NVidia regarding MDL.
Naturally, whatever path we decide to take will depend on the needs of the people using our software. I wish I could be less vague but that's where things are at the moment - we'll likely wait and see.

Best regards!
