Glossy Fresnel

V-Ray V-Ray Common Hardware
1

Hello! We are looking at upgrading our CPU farm or else looking into GPU rendering. The new fresnel (glossy) has been awesome for realism but I understand it’s not supported on RT GPU yet. If that’s correct is there any ETA as to when it might be?

Thanks!
Daniel

We will release an update to V-Ray 3.6 that supports it. It is still some weeks away though.

Best regards,

Ok, thanks Vlado! We’ll probably get a 1080 ti to play around with.

any chance it will show up in the Nightlies sooner?

Thanks again.

Any update as to the timeline on this?

We have it in the nightlies. They should become available again early next month or later this month.

Best,

Thanks Blago! Just to clarify, do any of the currently available nightlies have it?

Nope, it does not work in the current nightlies on the GPU.

Best,
Blago.

actually thought this was supported and made sure to have it checked on all my metals..lol.
So is it supported on RT cpu?
And when it is supported should it be used on metals only or on everything?
Thanks

It is supported in RT CPU. The GPU engine was the only that was not supporting it (when the nightlies are back, it will support it as well).

Best,
Blago.
