With the existing system you could write a custom PtexRead plugin that implemented the Iop::sample() calls and passed them to the ptex lib. I've done this with .dshad files so that Nuke Lights could use pre-rendered deep shadow files.
If the Foundry extended the Iop::sample() calls to the Reader class then a ptexReader plugin could do the same thing. -jonathan On Oct 11, 2013, at 5:26 PM, Michael Garrett wrote: > This is actually something you can do with Vray in Nuke, at least with a > recorded demo I saw online.
