Toolbar

[glorybound]

I have to install Vantage every time I use it because the toolbar is gone each time. I can't even create a new toolbar because the Vantage category is no longer there.

Hi Bobby,

You mean the Vantage toolbar in 3ds Max? What Max, V-Ray for Max and Chaos Vantage versions are you using?

Best regards,
Alexander

I think it is MAX nonsense. It seems to be working now, but I woke up to a MAX launch error talking about MAX being corrupt, and to restore from the factory. I declined and MAX launched fine, and the toolbar is there.

Again, I go to use Vantage and the toolbar is gone, nowhere to be found. How frustrating!

Did you try to right click on the black grey area a check on the Vantage toolbar? check the attached image.
Or did you try to reset Max by deleting the ENU Folder?

Hi Bobby,

That is very unfortunate that you are experiencing difficulties. What Max, V-Ray for Max and Chaos Vantage versions are you using? I think that this is a problem on 3ds Max's side and not Vantage but I need the requested info to try and reproduce it.

Best regards,

Hi Alexander!
I couldn't find how to add Chaos Vantage Live Link in the menu or toolbar in 3ds max 2020 after updating Vantage from version 1.0.0 to 1.6.2



My solution: Moved back to version 1.0.0

My specs: 3ds Max 2020 + Vray 5, hotfix 2

Hi agalar_ragimov,

Since version Chaos Vantage 1.4.0 the Live Link scripts are removed from the Vantage installation and from the Customize menu. They are automatically installed with V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max, update 1 and later. After installing the latest versions of V-Ray and Vantage, in Max you can enable(should be visible by default) the Vantage toolbar by doing what Alokpatil suggested - right-click on the toolbar area and check 'Vantage toolbar'. Can you please try it and say if it works for you?

Best regards,
Alexander

Yes, but nothing.

MAX 2022 and the latest Vantage

[glorybound]

Still happening. Every time I want to use it, I have to reinstall to get my toolbars.

[Alexander.Atanasov]

Hi Bobby,

Sorry to hear you are still having difficulties. What V-Ray version are you using(Render setup>Settings>About V-Ray)?

Best regards,
Alexander

[glorybound]

I am using V-Ray 5, update 2.3 (5.20.23 build 0001)

[Alexander.Atanasov]

We cannot reproduce it on our end. It sounds like a MAX corruption or similar. Have you tried a clean reinstall of Max?

Best regards,
Alexander

Hi,
same problem on my side. Max 2021 with latest Vray 5 and Vantage. Every reboot the toolbar has gone, when installing Vantage freshly it is coming back. My feeling is that Vray/Max losses the connection to Vantage and than hiding the toolbar .

Best regards,
