bentNormal

[masacova]

Hi,There.

I would like to get "bentNormal" pass with Vray for maya.
I can do it with vray for 3dsmax.
I use vrayDirt with environment occlusion mode on and I use NormalVec of vraySamplerInfo as GI Environment map.

And I did same way in maya,but I cannot.
How can I do with maya and vray?

Thanks.

Can you post your shading network in 3ds Max?

Hi,

Thank you for posting the example shots.
Unfortunately we are still working on this workflow with bent normals for V-Ray for Maya.
I will try to keep this thread updated.

Heh, it's amazing that it works (somewhat unexpected )

You can set up the same thing in Maya though; you can add extra V-Ray attributes to the samplerInfo node, and one of the V-Ray outputs is the normal in world space. Unfortunately there is a bug in TexDirt that prevents this from working properly, but it is fixed for the next nightly build tomorrow.

Best regards,

Actually no need to fix anything; you can use the "rayDirection" output of a samplerInfo node as the GI environment...
