Vray support?

[petkovic]

Hi everyone,

I hope no one asked this before,

Is there plan, and when, for vray support? I'm not a fan of mentalray

thx

[sitnisati]

Hello,

We are working closely with Chaosgroup on the FumeFX-VRay-Maya shader.
They had to add some code for us to support FumeFX/Maya and we're getting closer to the shader release.

Thank you.

I just saw this info:

VRay shader for FumeFX[Maya] is ready for final testing!
If you have VRay and FumeFX[Maya] and would like to bets test the shader, please email us at support@afterworks.com.

but no still no reply on email?

cheers

Hello,

We'll be sending beta next. There is a slight delay as we had some issues with Z-depth, but at the end it seems like it's a VRay bug.

Oh, i see

great then, in this moment i think we could live without z-depth, its a beta everything is allowed

cheers

[sitnisati]

Yes, the beta is open to anyone with FumeFX for Maya and VRay.
Few more tweaks and we're ready.

Hi Kresimir,

I dont know if I'm missing something, but I have installed plugin for vray and when I try to render fume with vray nothing happen? Are there any specific steps to make this work?

cheers

[sitnisati]

Hello,

Can you please check in FumeFX about box that the version is 3.5.3 - you've should have installed that version as well ?
Also, here are the VRay shader files install locations:
/vray/shaders/FumeFX.txt
/vray/vrayplugins/vray_FumeFX.dll

Please let me know.

Hi Kresimir,

I was able to find the problem thx to Domagoj and support team, for some reason I have re-install fume with 3.5.2 instead of 3.5.3,

I must say also, fumefx with vray works perfect, great job guys

cheers

Hi Milorad,

No problems and thanks for the feedback!
Feel free to email us if you find any rendering issue with VRay.

Thank you

Is this a beta version of 3.5.3 to test with Vray then?

[sitnisati]

Yes, the 3.5.3 is the only build that works with FumeFX-VRay shader.
Also, VRay 2.45 is a minimum too, but the current build will not work with VRay 3.

heyho,

works nicely for me here too.
Just one question. Is there a way to produce a render element which serves as a mask for the fire and/or smoke?

Thanks a lot

Rico

[sitnisati]

There is no support for Render Passes at the moment, but we will have it done for the next version.

Thank you.

Is there any plan to implement motion blur?

[sitnisati]

Hello,

Does VRay supports motion blur for the volumetrics ?

Hello,

As far as i know it does, at least with Phoenix.

[sitnisati]

I guess it's something specific to their shaders.
We can do it for FumeFX if we get a proper feddback support from Vlado and Chaosgroup.

I will ask him if this is possible then.

Thank you.
