have control over layer name in RednerElement "ExtraTex"

Hi all,

back on the Vray wagon for a few months.
If I remember right we used to be able to specify the output name of the extra layer to use when using a RenderElement set to “Extra Tex”.
This is no longer possible and is hard coded to “extratex”, so you always get layers named “extratex”, “extratex1”, “extratex2”, etc.
It’s quite a regression in a multi channel environment and it would be great to get back the flexibility to name the resulting layers/channel sets.

Cheers,
frank

oops, wrong forum, sorry

Well,
in Max you can disable the Auto Update Name checkbox for the ExtraTex render element. Then you can specify any name you want. You are probably working in Maya though, and I have no idea if it is the same over there.

yeah, sorry, I thought I was posting in the Nuke forum
