Can't edit material

[jkollars66]

I have a custom material/texture stored on my PC. It shows as "Material2" in Envision. I am unable to edit this material in Envision. See attached image

I selected all objects with "Material2" applied to them and then tried to apply "Aluminum-Satin" from Cosmos library. It immediately crashed Envision.

Here's the error log:

An exception 0xc0000005 occurred at 0x00007ff706045a22.
Access violation while trying to read from 0x0000000000000000.

Hi jkollars66, regarding your first post and as suggested by the message in the details panel, material editing for certain material types is currently not possible.
As for the crash, are you able to reproduce this issue again with the same exact reproduction steps?

[jkollars66]

Hello George,

Will the option to edit these materials be available in a future update?

Yes, the crash is repeatable. I tried it more than once using the same exact steps.

Hi jkollars66,

It depends on the material. We're going to expose more material Enhancements which will allow us to display more materials.
You might wanna check my post #5 regarding materials in this thread.

Cheers,
Ana

It seems weird that a simple aluminum/aluminium material can't be edited. It wasn't anything fancy. Just a gray material with metallic added. Imported through a .vrscene file.

[Ana Lyubenova]

Now this seems strange. Can you send us the .vrscene?

[jkollars66]

Sure. Do you have a secure way of sharing files. It has some proprietary features.

I have tried replicating your reported issue but had no luck so far, I am suspecting there is some unhandled case with regards to the imported material so we will have to investigate it. Could you please isolate the object/material that's causing the issue and upload it? Please refer to the following support page on what steps you can follow: https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/a...-Chaos-Support

Thank you.

I have uploaded the vrscene file. Request #326082

Hi, we've manage to reproduce the reported issue, it seems that it's a combination of selecting the nodes & different materials being applied. Please stay posted for further updates on the matter EC-1457.

Best,
George
