Parameters

This plugin has a single parameter which allows the user to enable or disable the display of the "VRayPlane" text in the viewport.

Notes

  • The position of the plane depends on its transformation in the 3ds Max scene.

  • You can have more than one infinite plane in the scene.

  • The plane is rendered with the material applied to the VRayPlane object.

  • Shadow maps do not include information about the plane object. However, other objects cast correct shadows on the plane, even with shadow maps.
