Guys, we really need this feature or something similar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDN2bLs-86M I do assets for game and I feel that highpoly+lowpoly+bake is really getting obsolete and stuff like this that allows you to make normals withou have to make highpoly first are very useful, I use 3ds max since Kinetix 3d studio max 3 and for me its very awkward having to migrate to different software just because of one feature and I have to do it so it saves lot of time!!

It would be nice to be able to add multiple regions of an image to be rendered at the same time in the Render Frame Window, all editable independently. There have been several times where I wanted to re-render a few different areas of reflections in an image and it gets tedious to have to render a region, move region and rescale it, render region, move region and rescale it, ect. This would help save time when having to knock out lots of renders as quickly as possible.

Data channel seems to be a really useful tool and I wanted to improve our production pipeline with it. That said, there's drawback. I can't find a way to output to vertex alpha. I can come up with a script workaround and let user output to wherever and than transfer it, but since vertex alpha is regularly used in game industry and adding support for it seems trivial, I think it might be worth doing it.

  I often find myself wanting to map gradients based on volumes. This can be very useful when creating glowing blackbody materials that are glowing from within rather on the surface.     When it comes to spherical projections Vray's Distance Texture can produce a similar effect fairly easy, and I am aware that you can produce a spherical effect mapping a standard Falloff map to a Gradient Ramp. However there are a number of limitations, such as the distance parameter cannot be linked or scripted to the radius of a gizmo, at least not by all the methods I have been trying, and each falloff is limited to one gizmo which requires a new Falloff for each gizmo and then composed together with a Composite map.   Also, Arnold does not even support the standard Falloff or the Gradient Ramp, and with the focus on photo realism it make sense to have a feature like this supported.   The ideal solution would be a revamped Gradient Ramp with the addition of being able to map the gradient to multiple volumetric Gizmos like this, with Arnold support of course.  Or perhaps a native shader that mimics Vray's distance shader but also supports meshes is the best solution since it allows for arbitrary type of shapes, not just Sphere, Box and Cylinder. Nevertheless, adding this functionality to either the Falloff map or Gradient Ramp would be really useful. Still be able to use gizmos might be useful though if you don't wish to add extra geometry to the scene.   Particle support would also be handy. Show More

Currently, working in a studio and using a material library on a project is a huge pain. Every time a material is created or edited, we have to yell "RELOAD" across the room to everyone so they know to reload the library and don't accidentally save over any changes you've made. We desperately need the material libraries to be Live and auto-update as soon as a change is made. This would make working on large projects with material libraries so much more efficient. (Note: material libraries are saved to a network drive that the whole studio can access) Thank you! Show More

    Sometimes need correct one bitmap that use to different channel, for example to Mask (need sharp) and Bump (blurry). For me will be good have node like in pixplant etc. Maybe as part of color correction.   Show More
