Hi, I recently read about the GGX shader: [image] V-Ray | New GGX Shader Offers Better Microfacet Distribution Over Blinn or Phong Sergey Shlyaev's GGX shader for V-Ray uses a better micro-facet distribution model to more accurately represent rough surfaces in Autodesk Maya and ads Max …

Funnily enough, after listening to GW’s 2nd tutorial I did a search for this too. Looks fantastic! Vlado, do you think this will be implemented fairly early on for Vray 3 ?

Yes, it’s toward the top of the list… Best regards, Vlado

That indeed is great news! I really, really appreciate the complexity of this, but it would be so useful to have this as an Brdf option in the VRayMtl shader (alongside Blinn, Phong, Ward) rather than a V-Ray plug-in, meaning complete support for all the usual suspects in the VRayMtl shader so that…

Exactly what I’m planning to do, yes. Thank you for the kind words! Best regards, Vlado

I noticed that you can create a GGX shader with Maya/V-Ray 3 if you go through this route: create → vray → create from vray plugin → BRDF material So… may I ask why this isn’t available in the regular VrayMtl node?

[image] VRay Multi Matte quick apply So… may I ask why this isn’t available in the regular VrayMtl node? It is, in the latest nightlies and the upcoming beta. Best regards, Vlado
