VRayDistanceTex for VrayRT GPU?

[Donfarese]

Just wondering if this is coming soon or maybe in the nightlies already?

[vlado]

It's not there yet; it will take a bit more time to figure it out. In the meantime you could probably bake it into a regular texture.

Best regards,
Vlado

Okay, thanks for the reply Vlado.

vlado, have you had time to progress on this matter?

[matanov]

It's planned for the next update but don't take it as a promise

Any update to this? We've got a lot of models which rely on VRayDistanceTex to get the accuracy we need and it's one of the more significant barriers to jumping to GPU rendering.

[matanov]

Like I said - it's planned, just have a little patience.

I have read in the documentation that now it is implemented, but it is not working for me. can I send you an scene to check?

[tanya_to]

leo.surrealismo, please send the scene to tanya.todorova@chaosgroup.com and we will check it. Thanks!

[tanya_to]

Thank you for the scene. It looks like the issue you are experiencing, is related to Composite map, which in V-Ray GPU is limited to six layers only and one of your shaders (asfalto.distance) has VRayDistanceTex used as a mask for the seventh layer of the Composite map. If you link VRayDistanceTex to the sixth layer, it will work.

thanks tanya! it´s working now.
