Render animated trees from Cosmos

Cosmos has animated trees now, but they can only be used with Vantage. I never have a need for a real time renderer, but instead often render out animation for use in video. I would really like to see these animated trees compatible with Scatter a...

Ability to Rate Results from Light Gen

Can we add the ability to mark off, label, star, delete, etc. certain Light Gen thumbnails? If I run 30 of them for example, most will be unusable and I would only want to render a few of them in full size. The problem is when I go back to select ...

Lights statistic to V-Ray Profiler

add a lights statistic feature to the V-Ray Profiler. It would be very helpful to analyze how much each light contributes to render times. This would make debugging very complex scenes much easier.

Savable workspaces

It would be nice if there was a possibility to save workspaces (like in Adobe Photoshop, etc.). For example, I'd like to save the render window in a specific size on my second monitor. And it would be nice to be able to have the main V-Ray window ...

Refocus and reset the depth of field in VFB.

VFB Camera exposure

Can we add an option to get a camera exposure direct from the VFB, instead of adjusting on the camera properties? I know they are handled differently, but it makes sense if you are doing an IPR and need to adjust exposure quickly. The way Exposure...

Displacement in Proxy Objects

Allow the Displacement map to be visible on Proxy objects. Currently, scanned models have relief maps that generate the geometry during rendering, ensuring a light mesh in the viewport. The displacement map contributes greatly to realism and would...
