Caustics and Vray Distance Tex

[Pixelpark]

I really would like to use the photon mapping caustics with Vray Next GPU.
And also the Vray distance tex map would be a very useful tool to use with vray GPU. I used to use it a lot with Vray "bucket", but now I plan to use only Vray GPU for all of my projects, and I really miss it.
Any chances to see these feature in some future update?

Just adding a vote here for distanceTex. It's a phenominally useful node, that's sorely missed

+10 for distance tex, its my favourite map.

Same here for VRayDistanceTex! It's critical to our modeling workflow and one of the barriers to jumping to Next GPU.
