CPV support in VP2

[haich11]

Hi, not sure if this is something on Autodesk's end or Chaos but it would be great to have support for viewing V-Ray CPV shaders in VP2.

In this vid - https://vimeo.com/214885829 at around 2:15 we talk about VP2 not supporting CPV for V-Ray (or V-Ray not supporting CPV in VP2!) when using the MASH color node.

Thanks,
Chris

A quick workaround is to use a lambert for your shader on the MASH geo but then create a VRay Material override on your lambert shader and then assign the VRayMtl to the VRay-Material override slot. Boom viewport display and rendering! An old trick I used to have to do to make Mental Ray show anything worthwhile in the viewport, just in a VRay way.

Hi,
we're working on the subject and we're waiting for some feedback from Autodesk. Hopefully it will make it for the 3.60.02 release.
