This page provides details on the settings available for the OSL Material in V-Ray.

 

Overview

Section
Column
width50%

The VRayMtlOSL material can be used to load OSL shader code files (.osl) or OSL object code files (.oso) and render them directly with V-Ray. The VRayOSLMtl plug-in can be used with shaders that write in closure color output parameters.

Notes

  • The VRayOSLMtl material automatically compiles OSL shaders to object code (OSO format) upon shader selection. No following compilations occur (even at render events). If the loaded  OSL shader is modified use the context menu options Reset or Reload of the Shader file button for your changes to take effect.

  • An  OSL compiler that translates *.osl files to *.oso files can be found in the tools subdirectory of V-Ray's root installation folder.
