Normal Bump is not compatible with Vray and may cause problems

[moifa]

Hi,

 

I get this warning from Vray messages:

warning: Texture map "Map #1776" (Normal Bump) is not compatible with Vray and may cause problems.

 

I know I can use slate material editor to find that texture map, but it will take age for the slate material to load all the scene materials in the main view.

 

Is there a script or faster way to load the particular texture into Material edtior?

Just right click in your scene and click on the "vray scene converter" or whatever it is called, it should convert all normal bumps into vray normal maps. If you require editing the vray normal map for whatever reason, you can select the object that has the material applied, then use the "get material from selected element" function in your material editor.

hey Gordon,

there is this nice script finding maps and others: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/search-materials-and-maps

sometimes there d be too many assets(unused,...) I can never find it manually,

- make sure to type the exact name of the asset in the search field

- and you can right click in the list field and assign that material into the compact material editor
