The problems I'm having with Iray plugin IC8 is 1st, any video motion I plug into the various channels (Diffuse, Bump, Displacement) to create a water motion or anything of that nature on a regular plane, it's not being shown using Iray after I do the final rendering of the frames. Unlike IC7 where as I see the motions on the plane after applying the video motions to the channels in the final rendering. 2nd, I notice that the Iray plugin for IC8 Sun and Sky is not displaying the sun and sky lighting distinctively as it does in IC7. I get true soft or hard shadows after messing with the settings in iC7, but in iC8 the sun and sky just gives this soft look all around in spite of me messing with the settings. I've sent attachments to show my issue.
