VrayMulti sub tex and normals.

Is there a way of getting normals to work with vraymultisubtex? Doesnt work in vray5 or latest 6

Thanks for the report. I've logged the issue (internal bug-tracker id: VGPU-5949) for dev investigation. It seems using a Multi/Sub-object material, where each VRayMtl has a separate Normal map works and can be used as a workaround.

Thanks for reply, I have the normal maps set up as follows, and it doesnt render in gpu...renders fine in CPU.




I'm pretty new to 3dsmax, so Im not sure how using a multisub object material would work, as im applying textures (not materials) to a floorgen object and need the 'faceid' component? I'm also not sure, being new to max, how im the first to report this In this case I can use bumps instead but really shouldnt have to, normalmaps should be tested as well.

On a side note, the docs say that the node is supported in gpu, it clearly isnt fully, and hasnt been in version 5 and still isnt in 6.

This is the setup I had in mind.

yeah, doesnt work unfortunately..like I said, i'll use bumps for now. Thx for reply.

Hi there, just want to know if theres a way to apply automatically the gamma of normal map with multisubtex, like vraybitmap does in a single map.
Normally I use the Script Gamma Organizer to set gamma to bitmaps but it doesnt work with vraybitmaps, at least not in the free version

Is this still not supported? Having issues with normal maps in Vray Multisub texture

I'll notify the product manager about the issue to see if we can prioritize it.

I didnt realise that it was just the vrayNormalMap node was the issue, using normalmaps without this node seems to work, albeit without the extra options.
