  • Maya 2011 OSX nightly build. A couple of bugs (or features?)

    Hi,
    first thanks for access to the NB of maya2011 plugin.. I noticed a few issues:

    VfB: dont remember its window position when its closed. This makes it appear on main screen always, and very often behind Maya2011! - It should remember that it was placed on the 2nd screen IMHO.

    I have an object where the normals was pointing inwards and doublesided was ON, and it rendered without reflections. When I flipped the normals it rendered with reflections.

    Theres some issues with the Layered texture node, where vray doesnt calculate the Alpha transparancies correctly - even though the layered texture node is set to work correctly with MentalRay or Maya software, vray only render the first texture in the layered texture node and skip the rest. This is the same for maya 2009, 2010 and 2011 versions of vray both on windows and OSX..
    Kind regards

    Ok, so except for the VFB issues, these are not specific to Maya 2011 or OS X, right?

    For the reflections, it will work fine if you also enable the "Reflect on back side" option in the material.

    For the layered texture - can you get me an exampe scene to vlado@chaosgroup.com ?

    Best regards,
    Vlado

            You have an e-mail from me. The layered texture problem should be fixed in builds on and after 2010-03-14. It was actually a problem in the way V-Ray computed the outAlpha attribute of textures, nothing specific to the layered texture.
