Materials not updating.

[Paul Adams]

I am trying to increase the number of tiles on the material 'Wood Planks A01' to reduce the width of the planks on the floor in the model. However, although the changes are displayed in the Asset Editor, the changes do not appear on the model. Suggestions anyone.

Thanks in advance.

They don't appear in viewport, or don't appear in render?

Hello, Paul,

Does the issue occur only in a specific scene or with a specific material?
Is the material failing to update during Interactive render mode or between Production renders as well?
If you could send an illustration and a sample project (Rhino's Menu > V-Ray > Pack Project) at support@chaosgroup.com it would help my colleagues assist you properly.

Kind regards,
Peter

We've got the same issue at our office Peter, so if you need more data on the matter, just give me a nudge.

Could you please share more info about the issue? Same one requested in my previous post + version numbers of Rhino and V-Ray for Rhino.

Kind regards,

Hi Peter

Summarized:
Material mapping does not update in viewport unless forced by transformation(move/rotate/scale).
This happens for all materials, and is not bound to any specific scene.
(We've tried a couple of variations to single out potential files/materials etc. that could be a problem.)
The mapping seems to update perfectly for renders.. Just not when inspecting it within the viewport.


We're currently using the newest Rhino 6 SR release (we've also tested the SRC, without luck)
As for Vray, we're also using the newest release.

We've recently been informed by georgi.georgiev that this also is an issue without the use of vray.
Considering the disruption of our normal workflow, we would of course like to figure out a fix for this issue as fast as possible.

The issue is indeed not related to V-Ray and is reproducible with bitmap textures. A potential fix should be expected from Rhino side. McNeel has been notified.
Be sure to send them feedback on this issue to help with their investigation.

Any specific person we ought to get in contact with?
Or would you suggest making a post (I'm guessing they've had a few already..) on McNeel's forums?

Either email their tech support or post on their forums. I'm sure either way would be sufficient.

Did this ever have a solution as I have just updated to VRay6 and Vray Materials do not respond to changes in bitmap sizes or tiling numbers? I have tried with Real World Dims and just increasing tile numbers, nothing works?

Fixed, user error, I had accidently hit the triplanar mapping button
