Cross-compatibility of V-Ray proxies between 3ds Max and SketchUp

It would be extremely useful if V-Ray proxies could be shared directly between 3ds Max and SketchUp, carrying not only the mesh but also their V-Ray materials. Right now, proxies are limited to geometry only, which means if we want to move assets ...

Support corona lights(the ones that exist also in v-ray)

As vray even supports redshift light now, it would be great if it could render or convert also Corona lights(the ones that are similar at least) light materials seem already to render thx!

Render checkpoints

I believe RenderMan and 1 or 2 other render engines support checkpointing, where there render will periodically save its render progress so if the frame is interupted or stopped, that another render node may be able ton continue where the frame la...

Material Maps

in packaging there are many production techniques that require color definitions for each process.You do embossing for blue, hotstamping for magenta, UV printing for Yellow... etc. my current packaging workflow to combine all of this techniques in...

Scatter tool scatters in geometric patterns

Hello all, New to Vray here. It would be great if the vray scattering tool could scatter the guest objects in specifice patterns. For example, a crowd of people (guests) standing in a circular distribution around a centerpoint facing the centerpoi...

Resolution-dependent displacement subdivision

I usually render at 5K for production, but sometimes I need higher resolutions (e.g. 10K for a denoiser workflow). The problem is that with 3D displacement set to view dependent, the look of the displacement changes at higher resolutions. In some ...

Tapering of internal lines in VRayToon

Hi, it would be nice to have some options for control of internal line width on VRayToon beyond the mapped width. For example, being able to have a line thin at each end, so it's more like a brush stroke. Thanks

Vray-Scene Manager

Maybe make Vray-Scene manager, similar to asseble huge scenes with xRefs in 3ds max, but much smarter and faster, maybe like assembling vray scenes in one max file. Or even better example is USD workflow, that looks very cool for big scenes and th...

add cryptoDeep support

DreamWorks recently unveiled what they call cryptoDeep - cryptomatte support for Deep EXR that supports transparency. This would be incredibly useful for situations with cards with opacity mattes. I believe they said the source code is in the late...

Water Surface

Could we get the water surface tool that's in Vantage in VR4SU? It's useful for create quick water and I would love to be able to send a water surface over from my SketchUp models to Vantage.
