Has there been any optimization to non-refractive (opacity map based) transparency rendering in Vray 3.0? This has always been the Achilles heel for us compared to both Mental Ray and Scanline in terms of speed. Vray 2.x has traditionally been orders of magnitude slower when it comes to scenes wit…

You’re in for a bit of a treat on that one, there’re a few new bits on the way.

There are some improvements in the current builds; more are coming in the next builds (I don’t know if you followed the thread about the new transparency modes on the Google group). However it would still be best if you can avoid transparency altogether. Best regards, Vlado
