warning: Material returned overbright or invalid colour

[kentchuang]

Hey guys,

 

as the title states this warning is popping up on the render. And as a result I am getting a completely messed up rendering. Here is picture attached. Anyone have any idea what's going on? (Vray 3dsmax)

 

Cheers

Kent

Also, every material applied is a vray material.

[John Dollus]

what happens when you use an override material?

Now im starting to think it may have something to do with the settings. This is how it comes out with no materials applied.

Check that there is not Autodesk materials in your scene, simple way is using material overwrite. From the first screen shot, it seems that you have some Autodesk material there.

 

Second it seems there is not GI? not related to your problem, but just saying.

 

Last but not least, be sure the box for Force color clamping is active in your VRay buffer.

Im currently rendering another project with Autodesk materials applied to it, and it doesn't show up with this error or this early microsoft windows graphics.....I guess it must have something to do with that specific project and the settings.....But I can't seem to think of, or find any deviations to the settings.

Convert all materials in scene with this: http://www.motivacg.com/en/material-converter/

 

Then try rendering. This will at the very least rule out the materials being a problem.

Thanks a lot Chris, that script seemed to have fixed the issue. Cheers !
