Overview

...

Section
Column
width50%

The V-Ray OSL map can be used to load Open Shading Language OSL shader code files (.osl) or OSL object code files (.oso) and render them directly with V-Ray. It can be used with shaders that have simple color and float output parameters. These parameters are considered respectively as texture RGB and alpha outputs.

If the shader file describes a material (rather than a texture) and writes its result in an output closure color parameter, it is advised to use the V-Ray OSL Material. Otherwise, the texture map will not evaluate the materials and would be rendered black.

For more on OSL in general, see the Github reference.

Notes

Fancy Bullets

  • The VRayTexOSL texture 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 click the Recreate attributes 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.
