Exactly, it’s my main concern as well, it’s so enoying that xref don’t allow to manage the same way as if it’s in the scene…
To render mask as well it doesn’t work, for matte object it doesn’t work either, visible layer from the xref are used in stead of the visible layer from the master when rendering…
XRef are great, but the support of features are really lacking.
I guess it’s all on Autodesk side and not on Vray’s side though…
It’s just a pity that they introduced the containers and stopped implementing XRef, now the xref and not completely finished and polished IMO and containers are worst than everything to work with…
Another smart move from Autodesk I suppose…
