Do you guys at ChaosGroup have some kind of API for the pbr viewport shading? So you can enable it for vray materials.?

Tried out the new sketchup importer. It's working great!
Couple more features would be nice, but it works much better now

We don't know details about it, but we will certainly ask.

Still won't use it, because that stupid double-click issue is not fixed yet. Again, since 3 years!

Is there any reason to go from 2019? On 2019 I crash 1/2 dozen times a week, for no real reason and a lot of not responding. Is it better in 2020?

That is good to hear. We were talking about it about 6 months ago and AD said that they didn't know there was an issue importing SU models. I am glad they listened to us.

You should ask Vlado to convert UI to Qt.
Arnold and ART doesn't have the issue.

You should ask Vlado to convert UI to Qt.

It’s on the “to do” list, but there always seem to be more pressing issues... Also, the problem is present in the Common tab as well, which is there for Arnold and ART and has this problem too. I asked Autodesk to convert it to Qt so that we can see how it’s done. There is nothing so far

Since the update, max crashes every time I open the Render settings window.... Anyone else experiencing this?

This problem is present in some other windows which have nothing to do with V-Ray.

Literally just now updated and it appears to be fine. Just checked again but no issues so far. All I have is a clean Win 10 install with Max/Forest/Vray Next so maybe it's some weird other plugin conflict.
