I can’t get any Vray FastSSS2 subsurface scattering working in vantage live link, neither with Alsurface …is it not supported yet?
It just seems to render the diffuse, no SSS at all no matter what settings I adjust
I know I can use translucency in the VrayMtl shader, this works, but prefer the other two options for better control .
is there a setting I am missing? SSS switched on in Vantage
I’m on 3ds max 2025, RTX 5080, Vantage 3.10, Vray 7 update 2 hotfix 3
Hi cam_910,
Currently only the translucency option in VRayMtl can render sss effect in Vantage. The VRayFastSSS2 and AlSurface are approximated as a simple diffuse BRDF + a Phong reflection layer. I would suggest you use the translucency in the VRayMtl as a workaround at the moment. You can add your request for the FastSSS and AlShader the Chaos Vantage Idea portal (Vantage :: Requests - Chaos Forum) where other users can vote on suggested ideas (one idea per requested feature as it will be easier for tracking and voting) and see statuses (Pending, Accepted, Planned, Released, Declined) on ideas. Additionally users will be notified on status change and added comments.
Best regards,
Alexander
