Vray - Show map in viewport

[djbob]

Hi fellow CGArchitects.

 

Could someone please tell me because I have tried to look everywhere for the answer... can you view Vray Materials in the viewport as you can with standard ones (the little blue and white checked box in material editor) because mine is greyed out. I have selected Vray in the assign render and material editor bit already. My brain is really hurting trying to work it out!!

 

If not how do you know when your textures are correct or do you just trial and error!?

yes you can , for sure , mail chaosgroup for an answer .

Naturally you can

 

But you have to go under the map tag... only there the "show map in viewport" can be cheked.

 

For example, if you have a texture in the diffuse map, click the "M" button to the right of the slot, and voilà, you can check on/of the "view map" button

 

Bye

Gabriella

Wonderful! Yes you need to go a level down in material editor and the blue and white box becomes availible - thanks a lot
