OSL goodness in Vray

[YoyoBoy]

Nah, it doesn't matter what object you map it to, you just get perfectly vertical stripes, regardless of the object's orientation. Is this a problem with the shader, or with VRay OSLTex for Max?

Apparently it's one of life's mysteries, Strob.

Works fine for me, but I'm using Maya rather than Max... maybe try raising the frequency to something like 20. Also try looking at it on a primitive plane rather than a sphere since it's a 2D texture.

How do you make these work? I just get stripes.

That's what I seem to get too.

YP I would stop working if I add that one!

That's a myth.
There's boredom at the end of that tunnel too, i tried. XD

I didn't think of the h15 or of the Nuke, but that's because for the first i have the in-app browser (which works, most times), and the second because i often end up some OTHER place than the manual to find the info i need (after spending half a day ON the docs trying to figure out the simplest of thing. I SO suck at nuke...).

Ahah, fantastic reply to a post that didn't come out quite right (i wasn't lambasting you for lazy, specifically. It was just incidentally the sixth post i read in succession which contained questions the manual answers, and i'd have to go read right there, to rewrite here...).
Yes, the trick is quite amazing, and a little known feature of chrome.
TR -space- "any string in any language", is already quite the powerful addition, for me.
And of course MAX for the max SCRIPT help (the beauty of them being specific), YP for the boring times, and so on...
Oh, i wrote that, did i not? ^^

LOL! Yes TR I added it too. And H15 for Houdini help! YP I would stop working if I add that one!

Gret tip Lele! Any tip related to a search engine is the best tip to learn! Seriously. I just added such links for every software help search that I use! It works great!

Hey guys,

You can check out these OSL noises and I hope you find them useful.

Best regards,

Ok Thanks! yes the link brings to a login page that doesn't work.

Right, that's an error in the docs. Do note that the first link I provided in my above post takes you there

Generally OSL works anywhere. There are some things that are not implemented in Vray, as well as some things that are Vray specific. That's all detailed in the Chaos OSL docs (it's a bit hard to find as there's no link in the Maya help, and the link on the OSL shaders page is broken, but you can get there from the Max help).

Ok Thanks! yes the link brings to a login page that doesn't work. But doing a search in the vray doc (with the lele tricks or the regular way) can lead us there too.

I'll never understand the adversity to hit the docs and help site, and type a search.
I made myself a chrome search engine shortcut, so i type CH in the omnibox, followed by the keyword, and get there immediately, like so:


this is the string to input in the rightmost box.

wow! that SOL thing is amazing! Does those OSL have to be written for V-Ray or any OSL written for any renderer could be pasted in V-Ray and work?
