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.

Ambient light for DMP workflows

Please keep Ambient light object as it is the only way to render projection setups for DMP and for using branding background for color sensitive motion design jobs. The ambient light is the only way to keep a get a flat lighting output from V-Ray ...

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...

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...
