Vray Materials

[deanmaytrap]

im finally making the move from sketchup to 3DS max for rendering - a marked increase in rendering quality, a little less hair from having to actually deal with the cumbersome mess that is 3DS

 

currently working my way through the materials, and im stuck at the VRmatMtl Parameters section from the chaos group tutorials.

Quite simply, its asking me to "open editor", to get me to a UI that looks strikingly similar to my beloved sketckup vray material editor, and the button is greyed out - like its taunting me.

Am i missing something? An extra plug-in or license permission?

Hi Dean,

 

It's because you are using VrayVrMatMtl and should be using VrayMtl.

 

Best, Tom

once you click on the 'file' option below and point it to a VRmat, you can then open the editor and modify it. It's greyed out because you don't have a VRmat loaded
