Point Position render element?

[shadevfx]

Hey guys, anyone have any ideas on how to create a point position pass as a render element?

In PRman it would be the "P" pass...

Thanks!

It should work if you use the VRayExtraTex render element with a SamplerInfo shader. Make sure to disable the "consider for antialiasing" option for the element or it will be too slow to render.

You can do this in 3ds Max using a small additional texture plugin that I wrote, called "VRaySamplerInfoTex", you can find it here:

Note again, that if you use this inside a VRayExtraTex element, make sure you turn OFF the "consider for antialiasing" option.
