Add multiple vrmap with different settings

[bigbossfr]

Hello,

I just starting to see a vrscene with the standalone.
I have baked 2 vrmap, but i want to use each vrmap with differents settings.
I saw in the vrscene this :

SettingsIrradianceMap vraySettingsIrradianceMap1 {
  min_rate=-3;
  max_rate=0;
  subdivs=50;
  interp_samples=20;
  calc_interp_samples=10;
  interp_frames=0;
  color_threshold=0.3;
  normal_threshold=0.1;
  distance_threshold=0.1;
  detail_enhancement=0;
  detail_radius=60;
  detail_subdivs_mult=0.3;
  detail_scale=0;
  randomize_samples=1;
  interpolation_mode=1;
  lookup_mode=3;
  mode=2;
  dont_delete=1;
  file="/3d/dbataille/bordel/01.vrmap";
  show_samples=0;
  show_calc_phase=1;
  show_direct_light=0;
  multiple_views=0;
  multipass=1;
  check_sample_visibility=0;
  auto_save=0;
  auto_save_file="/3d/dbataille/bordel/01.vrmap";
}

Just for fun, i added a seconde vrmap :

SettingsIrradianceMap vraySettingsIrradianceMap2 {
  min_rate=-3;
  max_rate=0;
  subdivs=50;
  interp_samples=20;
  calc_interp_samples=10;
  interp_frames=2;
  color_threshold=0.3;
  normal_threshold=0.1;
  distance_threshold=0.1;
  detail_enhancement=0;
  detail_radius=60;
  detail_subdivs_mult=0.3;
  detail_scale=0;
  randomize_samples=1;
  interpolation_mode=1;
  lookup_mode=3;
  mode=2;
  dont_delete=1;
  file="/3d/dbataille/bordel/01.vrmap";
  show_samples=0;
  show_calc_phase=1;
  show_direct_light=0;
  multiple_views=0;
  multipass=1;
  check_sample_visibility=0;
  auto_save=0;
  auto_save_file="/3d/dbataille/bordel/02.vrmap";
}

and now i have :

SettingsIrradianceMap vraySettingsIrradianceMap1 {
  min_rate=-3;
  max_rate=0;
  subdivs=50;
  interp_samples=20;
  calc_interp_samples=10;
  interp_frames=0;
  color_threshold=0.3;
  normal_threshold=0.1;
  distance_threshold=0.1;
  detail_enhancement=0;
  detail_radius=60;
  detail_subdivs_mult=0.3;
  detail_scale=0;
  randomize_samples=1;
  interpolation_mode=1;
  lookup_mode=3;
  mode=2;
  dont_delete=1;
  file="/3d/dbataille/bordel/01.vrmap";
  show_samples=0;
  show_calc_phase=1;
  show_direct_light=0;
  multiple_views=0;
  multipass=1;
  check_sample_visibility=0;
  auto_save=0;
  auto_save_file="/3d/dbataille/bordel/01.vrmap";
}

SettingsIrradianceMap vraySettingsIrradianceMap2 {
  min_rate=-3;
  max_rate=0;
  subdivs=50;
  interp_samples=20;
  calc_interp_samples=10;
  interp_frames=2;
  color_threshold=0.3;
  normal_threshold=0.1;
  distance_threshold=0.1;
  detail_enhancement=0;
  detail_radius=60;
  detail_subdivs_mult=0.3;
  detail_scale=0;
  randomize_samples=1;
  interpolation_mode=1;
  lookup_mode=3;
  mode=2;
  dont_delete=1;
  file="/3d/dbataille/bordel/01.vrmap";
  show_samples=0;
  show_calc_phase=1;
  show_direct_light=0;
  multiple_views=0;
  multipass=1;
  check_sample_visibility=0;
  auto_save=0;
  auto_save_file="/3d/dbataille/bordel/02.vrmap";
}

But it doesn't work.

Is there a trick to render multiple vrmap (without merge) ?
Hard to implement ?

Thank you !

You will have to merge them using the irradiance map viewer tool; for the moment V-Ray can only load one irradiance map at a time (except when doing interpolated maps for animation, but that's a different story).

Best regards,
Vlado

Yes, but the problem is : if i have a vrmap with baked directs lights (and shadows) and a vrmap with irradiance, i can't merge because if i merge maps, i will have interpolated maps for animation for baked directs lights (and shadows will be false).
I hope Vray can load multiple vrmap in the futur (with different settings) and if it is in the "todo" list ?

Thanks for the answer.

I really would like to have this too.
