VfR4 / VfR3 SR1

Re: VfR4 / VfR3 SR1

I'm trying VfR4 beta1 but i cannot find any of these options for displacement?!
Only material displacement, no per-object control....


...also what do you mean with per-object environments? I can't find nothing related to this.

???

Did I say object? Sorry, material based is possible now.

Displacement and overridable environments are done through materials currently. They can be found in the maps section of the material.

Re: VfR4 / VfR3 SR1

Ok thanks Joe,
...but is this a temporary solution or the final one?

What's the status of Vray per-object panel? (to control GI, displacement, motion blur, hide from camera etc...)

Thanks

Re: VfR4 / VfR3 SR1

Will we get the fur option with the addition of displacement? Some people have posted examples from 3DsMax where they have created realistic shag carpet and grass usign a VRay fur shader. Just wondering if this will be included.

I think for now we're going to stick with just keeping the displacement, etc, in a material format. We will migrate to the completely separate object panel when we have more per-object things. I think for VfR 1.0 SR1 displacement and environments will be the only per-object features - but we may be able to work a few more in depending on time. But we do plan on moving to a separate per-object panel in the future (beyond SR1).

I believe the VRayFur 3dsmax implementation example is provided with the V-Ray SDK - but I doubt it will be trivial to port it over to Rhinoceros so I'm not sure if that will make an appearance on this round. But I can definitely take a look at it.

Re: VfR4 / VfR3 SR1

Joe, if possible, please implement some "invisible for camera" stuff, so that the user can render an interior through a single surface wall. If it is only material based, it's ok. Most, it is needed for "look in to closed rooms" only.

Re: VfR4 / VfR3 SR1

that is a necessity I think,and would be a great addition !!! ;D ;D ;D

I think this might be possible using our VRaySkp2SidedMtl - make the front side have a simple alpha transparency and on the back side have the actual wall material. I haven't tested it but in theory I believe it should work. If not- maybe we can add some simple functionality to ignore certain parts of geometry.

Re: VfR4 / VfR3 SR1

It is possible...I will post the tests when the renders finish. I think it might need some tweeking, but we will see...

Here is the view from inside the box...The red wall will be invisible from the outside


Here is the view from outside the box...The wall is invisible yet still influences the lighting in the box, and appears on the reflections of the ball. Unfortunately the outside surface doesn't bounce any light, which leads to the odd shadows on the ground.

Re: VfR4 / VfR3 SR1

Thanks Joe and Dalomar for figure it out.

Re: VfR4 / VfR3 SR1

I'm impressed, what small extra features are included in Beta 2, I never have thought on it. For example the shift lens option for arch viz and the size control of the sun (simulate the haze corona of the sky) are great. Thank you. ;D

Re: VfR4 / VfR3 SR1


No we're following the V-Ray for 3dsmax standard. Which is unlimited distributed rendering. We're going to distribute a spawner package that will be a render slave that can be run on any machine you like. The only part that requires the license is the client ( the one that runs natively in Rhinoceros )

Hi Joe,
So If i will want to render on 2 or more computers, it will not be necessary to have 2 licences of Vray just only will have 2 licences of Rhino, is it clear?
Thank you for reply, Smail

I want beta 2 :'(

the more peoples gets with it the faster bugs will be discovered...

Nope - you can run the DR client wherever you want. As an addition, however, I mispoke before. I believe the V-Ray standard now is 10 DR licenses per 1 license. So you can have 10 DR sessions per 1 license. I'm not 100% if we're adopting that V-Ray for 3dsmax change or if we're doing the infinite DR licenses. But we'll make this all clear in our final feature list
