I’d like to submit some very stratospheric thoughts and concerns I have about the way V-Ray is going and pick your brains on these--both users and Chaosgroup folks. For a few releases now, I’ve been growing slightly uncomfortable about the direction V-Ray has taken in respect to the kind of stuff I…

I’ve just come across this, and wondered if Vlado or Bertrand had considered the PC architecture Bertrand is using. Over the past few years I have regularly use render nodes and occasionally a workstation similar to Bertrands machine, i.e. dual Xeon 32 threads, and although they work great in many …

[image] max 2014 nitrous powerpreview etc DOF? MB? So I didn’t have the GTR setup anymore but I just did a quick conversion, and the result is as expected. See below. I don’t know but maybe I’m doing something wrong in terms of scene setup (lighting, exposure, color mapping). But after 20 minutes…

The shared memory between CPUs is indeed a problem, but we also found a bottleneck in our code that could slow things down on many-core machines quite a bit. Although it typically started to show with 64 cores and more. It’s fixed for the SP, so hopefully things will run better on those machines. B…

This glossy Fresnel option… so currently i’m using a falloff curve on reflection map with the fresnel tickbox off, will this potentially be a new method to replace that?

This shared memory problem with dual xeon motherboard has all motherboards on the market or new ones are ok without any problems? I bought two new xeons E5-2630v4 with great SuperMicro motherboard (each cpu has 10 cores, so 40 threads total). I have 64GB, but I dont have a 3D max scene which use mor…

[image] How to get VRAY DR working from Deadline 7? Top one is Corona, bottom one is Vray. The point of interest here is the concrete floor. I could not use Corona PBR approach with V-Ray, because concrete would immediately light up and lose all the detail from grazing angle. Corona material is j…

[image] Material ID render element Does it has to do with the fact that the GGX shader in many different renderers was not doing fresnel inside the BSDF so it was not taking microfacets into account for the fresnel and so when light is coming at grazing angle like in your image the GGX appear too…

Its crazy how deep houdini is, however this also makes it slow to work in (I’m not a houdini expert) but the fact that you have to spend hours creating shaders its exhausting :slight_smile:

Cool to know Vlado! And Dmitry, Houdini also has the Disney Principled shader, explained in the same previous video which is ready to use and faster to setup than any shader I think. But if you want to go deep one level (by diving inside the principled shader and playing with the fundamental BSDF),…

I’m not sure; I’ll ask.

Best regards,
Vlado
