Normal map in a VRay material ?

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues

Is there a way using normal map with VRay material ?

I put a “Normal bump” in the bump slot of a VRay mat with absolutly no effect (…and I works well with a standard mat).

VRay 1.43.09 and Max 8sp3

Khem. Can’t help here, I’m using 1.5 RCx :smile:

You should get a newer version of V-Ray.

You can install V-Ray 1.5 RC3 without a dongle, using your existing license.

As far as I could test here, normal maps work fine with VRayMtl.

Ok I didn’t know there was a dongle-free version of 1.5.
I won’t update now because 3 different works are actually on production.

Anyway…can normal map work with my actuals 1.47.09 ?
And how, I couldn’t make it…

:lol:

in other works stick with a standard map until you update.
If it doesnt work with vraymtl it doesnt work.

With 1.47 use a max material to get the proper effect
