Output Tex

This page provides information about the Output utility texture in V-Ray for Blender.

Overview

The Output utility texture can be used to perform various adjustments to a texture's value, such as multiplication, offset, inversion and clamping.

Node

Invert – When enabled, it inverts the resulting texture color.

Clamp – When enabled, it clamps the output in the [ 0.0; 0.1] range.

Alpha From Intensity – Specifies where to take the alpha from.

Bitmap alpha – This is the default setting. With this option selected, V-Ray renders the material the same on both sides.
Color intensity/luminance – Renders the back side of polygons as invisible for the camera.
Force opaque – Renders the back side of polygons as invisible to all rays, except shadow rays.

Compatibility – Allows you to match the result of the texture in Blender to that in either 3ds Max or Maya.

3ds Max – The resulting alpha of the texture is the intensity of the texture.
Maya – The resulting alpha of the texture is the color luminescence.

Invert – When enabled, inverts the resulting texture color.

Invert Alpha – Inverts the alpha channel if Invert is also enabled.
