version 1.49.01 and environment map

[Jorgensen_cg]

Hi

I have been using VRAY for some years now, but I'm not a master

I have been using version 01.05.30 until now. I have just updated, and it seems to me that I can't use the mapping as environment to fake a grassfield, like I use to do in 01.05.30.

What I use to do is to use this method:

Is it no longer possible ? Or do I do something wrong ?

Thanks.

I remember this being a problem when the first 1.48.xx version came out. But there were so many other bigger problems with the newer version that I believe this one got left on the back-burner. I hope once they get the remaining major bugs fixed that they'll get this trick to work again.

In my honest opinion, I would not go back to 1.05.30 just because of that little bug. You can easily add material ID (couldnt do this in 1.05.30) to your 'generic' grass material and add the environment grass in post-process. I have to say that once you start using the latest version, you will not want to deal with 1.05.30 ever again.
