Vray Clipper with Dirt Element

[sebbiej]

Hi guys,

Is there a way to make the V-Ray Clipper work with a Extra Tex element with the dirt map applied? Whether I use either just the standard clipper or a mesh clipper, the dirt pass doesn't seem to take note of the clipped mesh with it's shadowing/occluded areas.

Could you give us an example of what exactly you are trying to achieve? Screenshots would be useful.

This might show a little better how it's working for me: I was trying to do a reveal of the layers of a tyre by using VrayClipper to remove the outer rubber. When the VrayClipper clips the outer layer the dirt pass is still rendering the shadow/occlusion as if the tyre's outer mesh had not been clipped.

Its not anything urgent, I've gotten around it by using matte layers to mask out the unwanted areas. I thought it might be a bug however...

Thank you for the provided shots. I have made a few tests and it seems that the issue is not present and working as expected in V-Ray Next.
