how to composite vray scatter volume

[thanulee]

Hi, I cant seem to find which element is for vrayscatter volume cause it appears black in sss2. So i cannot composite my beauty pass its way off. Anyone? thanks

[Chris MacDonald]

I'm not sure there is an element for it? My understanding was that it was initially made for debugging/comparison purposes to test the SSS in materials so I am not sure that it will have been fully implemented.

 

Have you tried the atmosphere pass, just in case it's there maybe?

[thanulee]

Yep. I tried all passes it aint there and unfortunately i been using this in production, i didnt know it wasnt fully implemented. Also, it produced some very weird black artifacts in one of my renders.

Perhaps ask Vlado on the chaos group forums. It might even be in the nightly builds?

My vray is licenced through grant warwicks offer, thus i cannot post in the chaosgroup forum thanks for the tips mate

[Chris MacDonald]

That sounds odd? It's still their product that you've obtained legally. Our office bought ours via a third party distributor and I've got access to the forums.

 

Perhaps email Chaos Group and explain the situation? It's definitely worth being on those forums, they're so good with customers.

I did 2-3 times and they responded that they dont let us access the forums unless we pay for it. They distributed to us some student kind of licence that works through internet alone. So if u are offline u cant even render, buckets dont move haha.

Only reason i installed the original one is to have access to forums and oh well, i dont

[Chris MacDonald]

Ahhh, I see. That's fair enough I suppose.

if u would be kind enough to post this issue for me, i would appreciate it cause vrayscattervolume is much faster (if u use it properly), a lot more accurate and makes much more sense compared to sss2. ty mate!
