[Fixed] [VGPU-6013] X-Particles Color Sampler

V-Ray V-Ray for Cinema 4D Issues
1

Hello!

I’ve been using V-Ray for a while now and I really like it so far. Super stable and easy to use.
The only problem I’ve encountered is is with using the Particle Sampler in combination with X-Particles in GPU mode.
After giving the particles some color using different methods with X-Particles, the particles still appear all black in the VFB or Picture viewer.
Color sampling does work with a Matrix object for example, or when switching to CPU mode, but that’'s a lot slower on my PC unfortunately.
I’ve replicated the setup multiple times, also in another version of Cinema 4D. It also crashes often when using the Color Sampler node.
I couldn’t find any info about it not being supported in GPU mode, so sorry if I missed that and please let me know.

Thanks in advance!
