Hi there, at my new job, they are using Arnold and I’m impressed with the Alsurface shader, I was able to play with it and it’s MUCH better then in Vray..sorry. Here are some doc about it : Anderslanglands https://leegriggs.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/alsurface.pdf Can we get something VERY simi…

thats what i do. call it multi uv tile if you want or udim.. all the same to me.. just the naming is specific for udim… but multi uv maps moved on other cadran then the 0,0 dobt work in vray 2d displacement.. but it does in maya.. figure it out.. meanwhile i have to do with the 3d displace wich is …

[image] Render slave behaving badly! and why is it at 1 by default BTW. Because it’s a terribly bad idea if you are using tiled .tx or OpenEXR files and have 150 GB of textures… Instead of using the appropriate mip-map level, V-Ray will be forced to load everything in memory. Best regards, V…

last time I checked it was not working.. is it working now Vlado? Jstrob : if you compare them with default value it’s useless.. 2d dislpacmeent has a resolution parameter, put it like a 3k and up, you will get sharpness you can only dream in the 3d. and in the 3d displacement, if you lower the edg…

I just did a test to make sure of it and what I found is that 2D mapping makes absolutely no difference if the blur is at 1 or 0.01, but with 3D mapping there is a huge difference. And in my tes I prefer the 3D displacement. And the good thing is that it’s almost 2 times faster. First this is 2D ma…

and BTW I always put the blur to 0,01. Vlado, I noticed if I change the bump map in the alsurface to something else then the pyramidal ( I putted none ) in the bitmap it just don’t render.. EDIT : I t don’t render the bump, I don’t see it, but the image is rendered ^^ And Jstrob, you model don’t h…

Hi Vlado, a problem I see with you’r autobump is this : in a small render it don’t show much.. and the bigger the render the bigger it shows.. should be constant! that’s why if I render let’s say a 1500 pixels, the reflection look more powerfull, since less breakdown.. (wich is wrong ) and if I r…

[image] Matte Light Bounce you’r autobump is this It’s not a problem with “our” bump; it’s a general problem with bump mapping and bitmaps in any renderer. Best regards, Vlado

Wow! bigguns you’re so right! Look at that: at 4K with 2D mapping and HDRI blur was at 1. render time : 23 minutes! You can see a big difference in the eyes! [image] Maybe the note in the doc should be changed: Note: In previous V-Ray versions, there was a great difference between the performan…
