Options for Displacement in Vray Material

Currently the Vray Material lacks for displacement options, it would be helpful to have proper units, shift values and keep continuity. The modifier has these options but having them directly in the material would be more practical in some situati...

VrayMultiSubTex probability and integrated UVWRandomizer/Triplanar

Would be nice we could set a probability per color/map. AKA how likely is a color or map chosen. I'm trying to replace ForestColor and RailClone color with this map for randomization of carpaints, but I wouldn't want to duplicate slots to avoid ha...
