weird texture error, but can't find the texture

[uwekreuzahler1]

Hello all

 

I'm having a weird issue here

Using Max 2015, with VRay 3.20.03 and I'm getting the following error:

"warning: Texture "Map#20296745" returned an invalid bump normal (XYZ -1.#QNAN,-1.#QNAN,-1.#QNAN)."

 

but i CAN'T find this texture, its not showing up inside the material editor (using find)

 

Anyone has an idea whats going on here?

Use Bitmap/Photometric Path Editor instead, it's under Utilities/More. Click Edit Resources, select the texture from the list, then click on info to see which object has the material applied.

Hi Stephen

 

I already tried that, but its not showing there either

 

Somehow 3ds links to this texture, but i really can't find it

 

Already started checking every single object, without having any results. Very weird

Hi, I had this problem a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember exactly what I did to resolve it... hmmm... but it did resolve. My first suggestion would be to create a new file, merge everything in and see if you still get the error.

Hi Tom

 

yeah, thats what i finally did too, i never had such a problem before, it was like the texture came out of nowhere. After creating a new file and after i merged all the objects into it, the problem was gone.

Very weird, not even Autodesk support could tell me what happened.

 

Well, i should have posted here after i fixed it, but i totally forgot, so for all the ones who might get into the same problem, Just create a new file, merge objects and thats it
