I’m not sure if this is the right place to wish this, but I’d love to see a way to connect Vray materials into Grasshopper. I know that it’s possible to do it after everything has been baked. I just would like to see a way to create a connection earlier much the way that in GH one can change the color of an object based on proximity, etc etc.
I am sure it’s still a ways off, but just thought I’d wish!

Re: Vray and GH connection
The only option available for doing this would be to use a custom scripted component within GH. There’s no way to generate or change V-Ray materials, but you can assign materials from these custom scripted components through the currently available commands available from V-Ray.
Check out this thread from a little while ago that will help out with getting you started with this.
