Position Pass RE

V-Ray V-Ray for Cinema 4D Requests
1

Is there a Position Pass render element? And if there isn’t - are there plans to add one?

Thanks!

Hello @chris_phillips ,

This should be done with a SamplerInfo RE, which, however, has not yet been implemented in V-Ray for Cinema4D. We already have a feature request for this (request ID: VC4D-961) and it will be added in the future. I will make sure to let you know once we have more information on the matter. Thank you.

Meanwhile, you can get the information by adding a V-Ray ExtraTex render element and then loading a SamplerInfo texture in it. All that you need to do is to set the Output to Point.

awesome - thank you!

Hello @chris_phillips ,

Please download and install the latest V-Ray 6 build from here. It will include the SamplerInfo texture along with other bug fixes and improvements. Let me know if that helps.
