Hair material passes

[sharktacos]

Perhaps these are already on the list, but I'd like to see:

1) The ability to add a material ID for the vrayHairMaterial3.
2) Proper passes (render elements) for the vrayHairMaterial3. Currently there is no diffuse lighting information output (render elements: Lighting or Light Select set to "diffuse" are black) and the specular is a combination of the diffuse light and spec together.

This is because the hair "diffuse" is not the same as a surface diffuse color (it's calculated from a different formula). I think it's somewhat better in the nightly builds though.

Best regards,

Part of the problem is that the way Light Select is being output is not identical to the corresponding render elements for the hair material. The Light Select:Raw is brighter than the rawTotal Light, the LightSelect:diffuse is black/empty while the totalLight has a dim color, and the LightSelect:spec has all of the information (both spec + diffuse light), while the specular render element does not.

Which build is that?

This would be in the official release.

yes, special RenderElements for hair would be handy...
