rgbPP passed to a instancer with vray?

[tinuz]

Hi,

Has this been implemented into vray 2.0?
or anyone knows a method to render an instancer with different colors per particle?

Here's what Vlado said a while back:

Set the particle properties (e.g. RGB PP), add the V-Ray per-particle attributes to the particle shape, turn on the RGB export; then use the Particle Sampler texture to connect the per-particle RGB color to your material.

Support for the particleSampler texture for the instancer geometry will be implemented in Beta 3 next week.

Best regards,
Vlado

that's really really cool, finally a renderer that can do this (apart from renderman)
thank you Chaosgroup!

but what I understand from GatesB's post is, that it was already working with vray 1.5?
or not?

lol, thank you GatesB, it was late yesterday
still really good news..

Yey, great news! Thanks for that. (BTW apart from renderman finalRender can also do this.)

Vlado,

Is Beta 3 done cooking yet?

[vlado]

Not quite done yet; I'll post here when we upload it.

Best regards,
Vlado
