How to find invalid texture

[luckyluc]

I have a very complex scene and want to find a "invalid or overbright texture"

 

I have the name. But I don't know on witch object it is.

I also can't find the teture in my material editor.

 

Does someone have a solution to easy find this.

utilities//more// bitmap/photometric path

 

or material editor // material/map browser //scene

 

or maybe http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/relink-bitmaps

I think if you go to your material editor and click the button that usually opens up the library, then select the option "scene"

 

This should list all the materials in the scene whether they're in the material editor or not.

 

I'm not sure if this will work as I'm not on a pc with max atm.

An overbright material is not a missing map. It's more than likely a standard material in the scene that Vray is not happy with.

google finds most things

I will try your solutions, thank you all!

 

I am afraid google doesn't support searching in Max Yet...would be nice.

It seems I always get an invalid or overbright material. I can find it by going to the material editor and clicking the 'get material' button and going to "browse from > scene". Because v-ray should name the material that is giving the overbright quality, you should be able to find it by name. To replace it with a valid material, load it into one of the material editor slots and where it says "architectural" or "standard" or whatever type of material it is (should be under the "go to parent" icon) click it and instead pick a valid v-ray material. Hope this fixes it.
