  • V-Ray GPU & RTX render shadows ignoring Opacity Map

    Hello,

    I'm having a continued problem trying to use VRAY RTX or CUDA GPU mode (RTX 4090) to render a material with a opacity map. This is a simple vinyl logo applied to a wall or display panel. This renders as expected in CPU mode, where there are no shadows visible from the opacity map as it is sitting just off the surface:

    Whereas a RTX render shows a faint shadow as if the opacity map is not being correctly read by the RTX engine:

    At first I thought this might just be missing the opactiy entirely but offsetting the logo to one side shows the opacity is intact, it's just this logo rectangle plane is dropping a shadow on the surface behind it, which it shouldn't be. Shadow casting turned off, etc.

    I believe this has only started happening in VRay 6 for me and was working as expected in VRay 5. However, I cannot go back and check to confirm. Any idea what's going on here?

    Thank you for your help.​​

    Mind if you send the scene so we can troubleshoot?

        Could you send the .max/.ma file instead? It would take ages to debug it from the .vrscene alone.

          Sorry, but I don't use the horrible interfaced and bloatedly inefficent 3DSMax software.

          I use FormZ and SketchUp which are much more designer friendly. This particular example was done in FormZ, which I assume isn't going to be something you could debug with? I can recreate it in SketchUp probably if that is better?

            A SketchUp file would be fine.
