Don't know if it is on the list already, but there still is a problem with GI interpolation and surfaces with wrong normals.




The scene:
http://www.aversis.be/vrayrhino/normals.zip

This is now corrected for the latest release of the SDK, so I suppose it will make into the next RC. Also, the invert texture now works for bump maps too, so you can invert a bump map.

Best regards,
Vlado

good news vlado !

Re: Layer Materials

I assigned all object's materials by layer, then assigned my layer's materials by importing files.
I then switched to Flamingo and re-assigned the layers.
I switch back to Vray and assign layer 1 with vismat 1 (by browsing), but it didn't really switch it. It got the assignment wrong- was using "brass" instead of "SS."
Something weird going on there.

Flamingo overwrites the material name. I don't really know the best way to deal with this. Basically we're all writing to the same member variables. So I wouldn't suggest working in the same scene with different renderers and different materials. I would suggest making separate copies in instances like that.

I guess we need to find a better solution than that

I have read this some where in the posts, but I can't find it for commenting... sorry.

It seems like that the new RC1 makes RHINO to not to remember/save the layout, tools and stuff are being removed after restarting RHINO!
The interface (my tools) are reset to the original layout set before installing RC1.

Yeah thats on my list to look at. Thanks

I would be happy if this two bugs could be fixed as next, because I find no way around:
- texture intensity of emitter materials dosn't work
- reflection map and fresnel can not used together

Use the Blend texture to combine two textures together

... last night I have let render three images. I'm happy. I like the "reinhard" color mapping. ASGvis team, thank you for the fine tool.

I have saved the three images and look in the details and zoomed in per scroll wheel. If I click in the images and scroll at the limit of 1600% a few times up and down, than I get a frame buffer crash message: unhandled exception (at all three frame buffers). If I select "ignore", than it dosn't complete crash down most, but it's an uggly bug. In the worst case, the image must be rendered again.

I don't find a way how it work. Please help. Could be great if we get it.

I would seriously consider placing the fresnell back into the main material interface. As this is such a commonly used map, I find it much easier to control it directly within the main interface. I don't know how it works in max, but the fresnell is there also independant of the reflection map slot, which makes life a lot easier. Imo fresnell is the same category of properties like refraction, diffuse, reflection, etc... You could also take out all the color swatches and make us use the acolor map instead, if you continue the logic of the fresnell map thing

I see this as an important thing to improve usability, especially for new users. If fresnell is inside the main interface, you can create most of the commonly used materials without the need for adding maps. If it were up to me, I would make fresnell even turned on by default, because in fact every material has this effect (even metals, just turn it up to 12 to 16 or something). In max I also find myself turning on fresnell always for every material I create.

Hello all. Dunno if it's VRfRh bug, but tells me it can't find activation manager and expired.

edit
OK. Find a way to resolve this thing. Testing Maybe it's all already known, but in case not

1) Small UI not THAT biiig bug, just a note - mat editor main window (where all options and all that stuff), right scroll bar shouldn't appear when I do such things (http://www.bigupload.com/code.php?code=5A942680)
2) just a wish - I wish material window can be minimized or smth like this to get access to options or another window under materials (doing it manually right now by re-enabling Rhino main window via api); sometimes I make windows semi-transparent
3) can I partly disable (kinda "uncheck") layers ?
4) plz add an options to auto-apply material when changed (so I don't need to reapply it again again and again - really nice, when you enabled rhino window)
5) BUG - when you delete all the diffuse layers (or all layers at all) preview hangs rhino with 100% CPU load!
6) BUG - huge HDRi maps preview makes VRfRh use 100% CPU power . . . or should I wait another 10-minutes ?
7) maybe a BUG - what's this ? clipping ? (HDRi Dosch Sky preview)

8 ) bitmap multipler doesn't affect preview (BTW - can't write (8bracket)hehehe )
9) I wish VRay->Options to restore Options window when it minimized
10) BUG - zooming to max values (1600%) produces "smearing" effect, so you can't see your image. Zooming out to previuos 800% - all fine. WARNING - IT's A CRITICAL BUG! Zooming in and out several times - Unhandled exception! Video, where I recreated error!!! Approx 7 megs. http://rapidshare.de/files/20284566/tt32.avi.html

P.S. BTW - looked deeply in last VFB bug. Seems like there's problem with caching huge VFB areas or smth like this.

Use the Blend texture to combine two textures together

I don't find a way how it work. Please help. Could be great if we get it.

Its not hard to use. Make a texture for Texture A. Make a texture for Texture B. Choose the amount to blend. 0.5 is default, which is 50 50 split. What two textures are you trying to blend that you are having a problem with

Joe, please try to create a plastic (fresnel) sphere with a textured reflection, like not reflective motar of a tile texture. I find no way to do it.

I wish, the fresnel control could be back at the reflection options and I could control the reflection per map independent from the fresnel effect.
