Multilayer problems with VRAY (i hope solve on next upgrades..)


1) Texture is downsample with multilayers..

(make a new material with a texture. (1000x1000 px) to see the diference..)

now make a new layer... with color, or texture doesn't care...


Render ... texture now its shown downsampled..


(sorry my english.)


2) WIth multilayer.. only works the color.. Displacent and refractance panel doesn't work.... (I DONT KNOW IF ITS A BUG OR WHAT!)


(make a multilayer shader, and try to add a bumpmapping... or change the shiness.... ) UGLY PROBLEM...


BTW, I think the form to set a multilayer is to basic on TS. i hope some day, work with mapping on the transitions beween the diferents layers...



AND ADD MAPPING SHADER ON VRAY..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I think we are very limitated with this mode to make multitextures...

Multilayer textures are currently not supported at all on V-Ray.


Note that the downsampling is caused because any color shader that V-Ray can't render (eg procedural shaders, or layered shaders since those are not supported) gets rendered to a texture, and the texture gets rendered instead. This lets you get something out of a color shader that V-Ray can't render.


The sampling will be controlled by the Player texture setting I believe.


In other words it is not degrading your image, but rather sampling the whole shader since that type of shader is not supported.


HTH!

who programmed VRay for Truespace ?

Did Team Caligari this job or the chaos group ?


VRay 1.5 is out so i am interested wich release and wich features we will get with the next VRay for Truespace version ?


Is there a possible way to import VRay materials in Truespace that was created in Max or so ?

Chaos Group program the VRay SDK, then Caligari hook tS into the VRay SDK.


VRay 1.5 for Max is out, yes.


I don't believe VRay 1.5 SDK is out.


You have to remember that VRay for Max and the VRay SDK are different products with different featutre sets and cannot be compared. Do not confuse VRay for Max with what is available for tS.
