alsurface and materialID

[jasonhuang1115]

Hi,

I was trying to add a material ID (for multimatte render element) on a VrayAlsurface through Attributes>V-Ray>Material ID, but there is no item available for VRayAlsurface? As a workaround, I plug the VRayAlsurface to a VRayBlendMtl to assign a material ID.

Env: Maya 2017 update 2, VRay 3.57.01 build 27241.

We haven't implemented the additional attributes for the VRayAlSurface material yet. We have it on the to-do list, though.

You could also plug the alSurface in a VRayMtlWrapper instead of a VRayBlend as a workaround similar to yours.

Thanks for confirming this. Would the additional attributes for VRayAlSurface make into official release of 3.5?

They're already in the nightlies and will be included in the official release. You can try them out with a nightly build.
