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 : Loading... https://leegriggs.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/alsurface.pdf Can we get something VERY similar (…

Doh! My OSL Lambert code was missing the output. This should work: surface Lambert ( string diffuse_texture = "diffuse.png", float diffuse_weight = 0.5, output color result = 1 ) { color diffuseColor = texture(diffuse_texture, u, v); Ci = diffuse_weight * diffuseColor * diff…

[image] noise and render time the Phase Function thevalue between -1.0 and 1.0 in max it goes to really high number in one sens or the other and seem to do nothing.. it has no effect.. and the IOR seem to have no effect also.. :frowning: I’ll take a look at that. I’m tending to just remove the…

Do you mean it messes up the shader ball preview or the actual render is messed up? It’s messing both, the preview and at render time but only when I blend it with the vray blend mtl otherwise it work’s perfectly. That’s why since the start it was not working, because it was blended… at first I di…

Understood. I’ll follow up on the maps. When you are adding it to a VrayBlendMtl the OSL should be in the base, with the mode set to “additive” and then VrayMtls with diffuse amount set to zero adding in the spec/reflection on the other layers of the blend. Is this what you are doing? This works f…

Try this shader. I have removed the phase function and IOR (they are not in the VraySkinMtl either). All color channels now can have maps. There is no bump or diffuse color. This should be added with a blendMtl along with the spec. The material is only focused on doing the SSS. I set the gamma to 1 …

[image] .tx conversion settings with nMakeTx Understood. I’ll follow up on the maps. When you are adding it to a VrayBlendMtl the OSL should be in the base, with the mode set to “additive” and then VrayMtls with diffuse amount set to zero adding in the spec/reflection on the other layers of the …

it don’t work that last shader, it says error : PhaseFunction`was not declared in this scope chinese to me ^^

[image] Refresh VrayLightLister with MAXSCRIPT it don’t work that last shader, it says error : PhaseFunction`was not declared in this scope chinese to me ^^ It was a typo in the code. I changed it above in post#87 if you want to try it again. It’s cool that Max is giving you error messages f…

haha I feel your pain, working in maya is often a blind environnement. I really hate doing shading in Maya, working iwth ID’s is a pain in the ass and there is no Multi-suboject Mtl, quite a joke. It does not work, the error is now : error : indexing into non-array or non-component type.

I’ll have to look at it when I’m back at work. In the meantime, hopefully someone can comment about the problem with OSL and the VrayBlendMtl in Max.

skin shader a la Alsurface pleaseeee

I put the color of the diffuse black in the blend mtl, not the amount to zero, I mean there is no value for this as far as I know. and yes additive mode checked.

Ok I’ll test that new shader thank you!
