Load in cryptomatte alpha to act as render region matte

It would be great if you could load in a black and white map jpeg sequence (or an PNG with unpremult alpha) to act as a custom render region. So if you need to re-render just one element in your shot you can isolate it and do it quickly. Thanks

Junk Matte

It would be cool to have junk mattes similar to the polygon region render but applied to the vrimage as a post effect. If you could add them as another MM similar to how you can add or subtract multiple MM currently. For photoshop users, VFB is th...

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...

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.

Transparency for rendered export elements such as shadows or lighting

Many architects export rendered elements such as shadows, lighting or occlusions to use as underlays and overlays with linework. However, VRay only exports these with a black background. For example, if you wish to use these rendered elements unde...

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 ...
