Footnotes
1 – The Sampler Info Render Element supports different UVW Coordinate types through its different pass types. For more details, please see the Sampler Info Render Element page.
2 – It is supported in V-Ray for 3ds Max 2019. Some OSL maps are not supported yet.
3 – Falloff map does not support Shadow/Light type.
4 – Substance2 is supported.
5 – VRayCryptomatte RE is supported when rendering with Bucket Image Sampler.
6 – VRayLightMix will give an output the way it is set in the original scene, and its settings cannot be further edited directly in the cloud environment.
7 – Support is confirmed for tyFlow v1.132. There may be occasional failures with other versions while the product is still in Beta and major changes to it happen.
8 – Using HDRI Environment from Max native osl maps can produce a different result when rendering with Chaos Cloud Rendering.
9 – Gradient Ramp as bump texture is not supported.
10 – Anima 4D people export to Chaos Cloud Rendering produces large size files and their upload to the cloud might be sluggish.
11 – BerconGradient Lighting, Random, Particle age, Particle speed and Particle size types are not supported. Normal and Distance types To Object and Object Z are not supported.
12 – "Limit to visibility" feature is not supported in animations and with multiple cameras with Forest Pro version 7.
13 – VRayObjectID is always rendered with Integer (no Anti-Aliasing) mode in Chaos Cloud Rendering.
14 – RailClone mapping features are not supported in Chaos Cloud Rendering with RailClone's Use Instancing Engine option enabled. More details are available at Itoo's RailClone requirements page under V-Ray RT/GPU.
15 – Animation of cloud parameters is currently not supported.
16 – Note that the noise pattern renders differently in Chaos Cloud/V-Ray Standalone. Use the VRayNoiseTex instead to keep consistent results.
17 – Irradiance Map GI engine is deprecated. It doesn't support some of the new V-Ray features and will be soon removed as an option.
18 – Note that the Seed parameter of the Cellular map renders differently on Chaos Cloud and V-Ray Standalone.
19 – In versions prior to V-Ray 6, Anima 4D people exported to V-Ray Standalone and Chaos Cloud Rendering render with a lot of artefacts. It is recommended to upgrade to V-Ray 6 and then export your Anima 4D scenes to Chaos Cloud or V-Ray Standalone.
20 – Only a single SphereFade effect is supported for Cloud and Standalone rendering.
Additional Notes
- Currently, Chaos Cloud Rendering does not support animated formats for input.
- Starting with V-Ray 6, update 1, VFB Render region option is supported.
