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 v0.16097 (BETA) for 3ds Max (November 27, 2020). 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 Cloud.
9 – "Limit to visibility" option is not supported in animations with Forest Pro version 7.
Notes
