Something that is really missing from vred is the ability to round the corners of geometry. In mental ray the round corners shader allow you do this. It is a shader trick that adjust the normals rather than actually subdiving the mesh. I know mental ray have a patent for theirs but vray have one(last time i used it it was not great), also modo have a really great one, along with the newly announced Octane 2.0. It is extrememly useful when dealing with cad data as many mechanical parts have sharp edges and it helps so much to get the round corner effect so those sharp edges can pick up glints of light to feel more natural.

It will be great to have the possibility to export a USDz file to be used on mobile devices in a AR environment. Being the USDz file supported only on IOS also the ability to export a GLB/glTF file for Android devices. Note then Fusion 360 have an export option for USDz and for Inventor there are some 3rd party apps. Best Chris

Hi Currently the variant set render order is based on a strict "Chronological creation order" (Vset that is created first go first, despite the name) I suggest that the variant sets go in render in alphabetical order instead. This is very little, but could be helpful in some critical projects

It will be great to have cylindrical and spherical projection of the textures, in the mapping type of material editor window, easy to use, like planar, UV, and triplanar.

I believe you already figured out that many automotive companies are now trying to use VRED for CGI workflow. It's complicated that we want to use our expensive clusters for heavier tasks than still images and real-time review. But animating in VRED is very limited. Especially for a complicated car running scene. I know there's a 3rd party plugin solution from nVIZ. But if you can integrate similar functions for car rigging into VRED, well, we are not working for publishing level of output, even with some simple physics. It could save a lot of people.

I am just missing an align tool in VRED like there is one in Maya... I need to position rims and tires and it be very helpful

The new folder system in Alias is a powerful tool to control data. Increasingly as folders are adopted there are use cases where it would be advantageous to honor the folder hierarchy upon import into VRED. At present, the folder level from Alias is completely lost as is any advantage that might provide once in VRED. It would be helpful to have a toggle option to honor/ignore the folder hierarchy from the source .wire file

Hi, In vrController class there are vrLogInfo, vrLogWarning, vrLogError functions, but there are no vrLogDebug and vrLogCritical as in usual logging system. Please, implement vrLogDebug and vrLogCritical. Thanks.

I'd love to see an arrow or something that indicates which way a rectangular/disk light is casting light. (I've asked before) I would also like to be able to select the Scene Nodes belonging to a Linked light. Sometimes, I miss parts that aren't grouped correctly. We work with constantly changing data sets and sometimes there is no time to properly prep the model. The workaround for now is to blow out the intensity on a linked light to get a visual idea of what's linked.

Hi Team, would be nice if we could have a standard Surface material in VRED like in Maya, especially when exporting FBX to VRED (I don't know if FBX can handle standard Surface material type) Thanks, Z

Hello team, wouldn't it be great to have a procedural ramp editor in VRED like in Maya? Mainly used to create quick ramps and gradients for transparencies in Multipass materials etc. Instead of launching PS or something similar just to create a bitmap. Thanks, Z

Hi, It would be nice to have aim targets on lights. Similar to the aim on the "Camera and Aim". So you can have lights that are constrained to the target and be able to move the target and light manipulator independently while having the light always pointing to the target. Richard

In Autodesk inventor, the constraint service is way more useful, It would be nice if VREDhad axis constraints and rotation joints. I would like to join two axises together to form a true hinge. It would be nice if we could also look at geometry and have it recognize that something is a circle and constrain to the center of that circle or constrain to the access of that circle.

I just watched Barry's AU class about prepping models for VR: http://au.autodesk.com/au-online/classes-on-demand/class-catalog/classes/year-2017/vred-professional/tr125595#chapter=0 and I wish some of the Maya tools he mentions (Automate Polygon B Side Cleaning Utility and Tangent Select Tool, in the Creative Bridge Add On) were included in VRED. Also, he says that creating decals doubles the poly count, and shows how to create a UV map, using Mudbox. I know VRED has a UV Editor, but can you output a .jpg to use as Diffuse? Even better, would be to just create this map based on your decals on a Multipass.

Hi all It would be great to have an audio streaming other than the video one using web server via browser. It could open new possibilities for collaboration Bye!

Idea: Tool to create buttons in VRED Go interface to interact with variants sets. Compelling UI/UX is important to clients.

Currently if you select multiple objects/shells and layout the UV's they all layout their UV islands onto their own UV tile. It'd be useful to have the option to layout multiple objects/shells onto the same UV tile. My reason for suggesting this is that it'd massively help out the workflow between Substance Painter and VRED, without having to merge shells by material then layout the UV's, by which point I can't re-import that texture onto the original un-merged geometry as the UV's are different. I'm sure there might be a few other user cases for this too. Thanks, Rares

It would be nice if VRED would offer a integration of the new Microsoft Mixed Reality Platform, like it already has for Vive and Rift.

Since VRED seems to be dedicated primarily to the Auto Industry. They should develop a shader that lights the leds or bulbs in headlights and tail lights automatcally. The shader should allow the headlights to cast light onto ground surfaces and objects that it's near. Instaed of all the work you have to do to achieve the same affect. There's a shader for the tires...why not one dedicated to the headlights and tail lights?

In other apps like e.g. Maya you have the possibility to reference data into the scene. Thus you can keep the file size of the WIP file small and have the saving process faster. ( And save storage space 🙂 ) Reference Editor from Autodesk Maya
