Vray Hair Mtl3 support for ambient light

[Morbid Angel]

Would be great thanks!

Hm, does it not work right now? It could be that it works only for the diffuse component of the material.

It works correctly according to my tests, and it affects diffuse + specular elements.

Thanks for the replies guys I've tried it on both vray fur and shave fur. It does not work on shave hair geometry or vray fur in my test. Please see image/scene attached. Left fur has shave node with shave native material. Middle fur is a shave fur (same as first one) but has vray hair material assigned to it. Right one is vray fur with that same hair material. I've turned off transmission and cranked the diffuse of the hair material to almost white but still nothing from ambient light, where as you can see shave hair does work with ambient light as I have it.

My specs are:

Maya 2013 x64, V-Ray for Maya version 2.25.01 from Feb 14 2013, shave 7.26

Thanks.

You are right that it doesn't work; I'll make a note to implement it.

As a side note, could you also make a note to add support for vray dirt in amb light and shave hair...thanks!

[Morbid Angel]
