yes, if you use vray you have to use a vertexshader

Brazil for Rhino does have a vertex color shader.

Also, if you search on these forums I posted a while a go a script that will create a bitmap file out of mesh vertex colors, you can then use this image in a vray material.

Hi all,

 

sorry, but I have to veto.

It is possible when you use Giulio Piacentinos C# bakeAttributes Component from his webpage corner Grasshopper tools in C#.

Here is an example where I used it to render the solar analysis with V-Ray for Rhino on an example shape.

For the analysis I used Ecotect and Geco.

 

Best,

Martin.
