VrayDirt ignore self occlusion not working?

[sentry66]

I'm running build 31358 and not sure if the "ignore self occlusion" is working right. Here's a render with it on and off. I'm not seeing a difference, but the black object appears to be self-occluding either way where the yellow shows up. In this case, I only want it to happen where the tubes are intersecting the black object.

thanks

Also, just noticed that the "Work with transparency" attribute is missing? The Vray 5.2 documentation says it should be there at the bottom of the page

You're right - there is something the matter with the "Ignore Self Occlusion" option. I've logged it (internal bug-tracker id: VMAYA-11214) for developer investigation. Not sure if there's a workaround, sadly.

Quoting the docs: "The Work With Transparency parameter was renamed to Ignore Invisible Objects, and the Result Affect parameter was renamed to Affected By in V-Ray 5, Hotfix 1 for Maya (version 5.00.21)."

Just so you know, we've fixed the issue in our internal builds. The fix will most likely be picked for the next release.

Has this fix been pushed? Im in 52f66362 from 10th April, should this be in there? Im having to use exclusion to get it to ignore self-occlusion.

Yes, it has. It's already in the official build (May 18th, 2023).
