Hi,

I'm afraid there are several limitations to implement features like Forest Color or the Edge Boundary Checking mode for this render engine. The reason is that these features work at render time, and require a custom shader for each renderer (a piece of code which runs directly in the render engine). But V-Ray RT doesn't support any third-party shaders (there is no SDK, so we cannot write code for it).

I would suggest you to use the work-flow shown in the Grass Edges tutorial.

Best regards,
Rokas

Thx for your explanation when we understand the V-ray GPU problem its easier to take the solution and just do it that way, you set it up once so its not much work.
