Cycles Shader Nodes

This page describes all the Cycles nodes that V-Ray supports for rendering and conversion.

Conversion to V-Ray Nodes

• You can convert Cycles nodes to V-Ray nodes using the Convert to V-Ray Material button in the V-Ray Node Editor toolbar.
• Alternatively, you can convert the Cycles shader nodes in the entire scene using the Convert Materials tool.

Notes

1. Z Depth and View Distance outputs are not supported.
2. Tangent output, Incoming, and Parametric are not supported.
3. Reflection doesn't work on GPU. The Generated parameter doesn't work with the Texture Space options.
4. Tangent is not supported, normal map is not correct.
5. The Image Texture does not support projection, only single images.
6. The Checker texture is imported with the wrong default UVWgen, and it does not scale properly.
7. Works with constant inputs only; it does not work with textures.
8. HSL mode is not supported.
9. The Temperature property works with color values only (no textures) on V-Ray GPU.
10. The Color Ramp only renders RGB ramps.
11. The Math node’s Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Multiply Add, Less Than, Greater Than, and Compare.
