V-Ray for Modo Thoroughness

[rob_callicotte]

Could anyone tell me what I might not be able to do with the V-Ray Modo plugin within Modo, but I could do it in another V-Ray implementation? I'm only curious, due to wondering if using the V-Ray Modo plugin is missing the functionality of V-Ray in any way.

Even though all V-Ray integrations share the same V-Ray core, they are quite different, since we tailor them to each specific DCC app.
So if you want to really make a comparison, you should check our trials, we have them for all DCC app integrations.
Just comparing a list of features won't tell you the whole story, especially if you are not going to use these features anyway.

Still currently the major features missing in V-Ray for Modo are:
- texture baking (render to texture)
- vertex color texture
- extra tex render element
- resumable rendering
- V-Ray MDL material
- V-Ray GLSL material / texture
- V-Ray Metaballs

There might be others I am forgetting right now, but those are the major ones.

Note also that the price of V-Ray for Modo is lower than V-Ray for 3ds Max / Maya.

Thanks Vladimir. You're awesome!! I like what I see with this instance in Modo, but LOVE what I see in the V-Ray gallery. So, this helps very much.

Do you have any plans next to include any of these items? If so, would you tell us which items?

All are on the todo list, but when/if they will come, I can't promise.
Probably would be implemented roughly in the order I listed them above.

Thank you for your quick response and I appreciate your dedication to finishing this as well as you can, Vladimir!

extra tex and baking would be very high on my list
