Known Limitations

This page provides information about the known limitations of Chaos Vantage.

Hardware

Maximum 10 layers of materials are supported per blend material.
Clip opacity is only supported.
Procedural textures are not supported in Opacity and Bump. Only bitmaps are supported.
Refraction values(from a color or texture) smaller than 0.1(in the 0 - 1.0 scale) will be ignored and the material will be rendered opaque.

Procedural textures are not supported for light textures. Only bitmaps are supported.

Only 1 dome light from .vrscene is supported. If multiple dome lights are present 1 will be picked for environment randomly.
Non-linear gamma for environment/dome texture is not supported.
Only bitmaps and V-Ray Sky are supported.

Only 1 volumetric fog from .vrscene is supported. If multiple fogs are present 1 will be picked randomly.

Objects should have unique names. Non-unique naming for objects may cause issues with transformations and visibility.
Maximum number of 16 777 216 instances is supported.

Images with denoiser > 0 and denoiser=0 will be different in reflections and refractions.
Glossy reflections on materials with refraction will be ignored and will be set to mirror reflections instead.
After first bounce calculates only refraction and ignores reflection and diffuse values.
Denoising refraction doesn't work well when geometry curvature is high relative to the screen area it covers.
Ignores bump.
Over-blurs reflections.
Temporal lag for reflections in animations with moving camera/lights.
Does not apply to Depth of Field.
On first bounce ignores diffuse value and calculates either refraction or reflections making refractive objects more visible due to reflections.
