General questions about Vantage and Vray

Vantage General

Hello,

I know Vray, but not Vantage and have some questions:

1.)
Which are all the current limitations in comparison to vray?
Is tyflow render supported?
Are certain materials, nodes or lights not supported?
I can read from the “new update” announcements that some crucial features were only added recently (such as UDIM, blend material, displacement etc.)

→ It’s always important to know all stuff that isn’t supported before setting up a project.

2.)
Is it included in the educational subscription or is there a separate educational subscription?

Thanks
Ben

You can find part of the answers here Chaos Vantage

hmm when will all the maps be supported? especially some key ones like edge text?

We don’t have a plan to support ALL maps. We can discuss specific maps. For example, VRayEdgesTex will be supported in the next update (coming soon). The limitation for bump maps will remain though, it’s a general limitation for procedural textures in bump maps.

VRayEdgesTex in the bump map slot, i.e. rounded corners will be supported in the next release (Vantage 2.5.0).

OOOOh… when is that coming? Will it also include Vraytoon lines?

7

If everything goes according to plan, in a couple of weeks.
And no, it won’t include Vraytoon lines.

Any news about the material editor within Vantage?

Great! And please support Color Correction node after HDRI environment please, or add a slider in Vantage to adjust the HDRI saturation. Maybe more than half of architectural 3D artists do this step in VRay/Corona.
