Remove .dlr?

[Mark Cronin]

I'm putting some cars etc (modelled by others) into a model and one of them has a .dlr file (from vray use?) present. the file is VRender40.dlr. Unfortunately we don't have v-ray in this office, only max or viz.

I've reset the material palette and made sure that only my MR materials are assigned. I've checked all the meshes for missing modifiers etc, but there aren't any. I've saved out various parts of the model and merged them into a clean scene, but I still get an error on loading and it still shows up in the file properties.

Are there any scripts or hidden commands for purging stuff like this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mark

if you are totally re-materializing the car and taking it out of a vray setup, I would try to just export the model as a .3ds file, then import it into a new scene. It should drop any hanging vray references that you are carrying over by doing a merge.

Excellent - worked a treat. A simple solution that I didn't even consider in my rush.

Thanks very much!
