This is an interesting test video, I wonder how this was created since VRayDistanceTex doesn’t “fill up” spaces: [image] Vladimir Koylazov Share your videos with friends, family, and the world Edit: Sorry, found the description…

So where did you find the description? Edit: nevermind, figured it out.. kind of. Essentially two Objects affecting each others distancetex. But a copy of one object is needed to prevent a circular reference, right?

Yes, but this only works correctly with simple geometry since VRayDistanceTex doesn’t iterate…

i dont understand what this means: “only works correctly with simple geometry since VRayDistanceTex doesn’t iterate…” ive used the rendertime boolean trick on some pretty damn complex geometry.. id say it works on much more complex meshes than a standard boolean/ in fact i cant see how mesh detail…

have a look at this file (max 2012): vray_rendertime_booleans.zip (27.1 KB)
