Special characters in texture name

[gopinath_c_1]

Hello,

If any special characters (like $, #) present in the texture file name, then while rendering, its not showing the objects.

I tried exporting as vrscene and run the same in sample application, got same issue.

My texture file name is like this.

(some path)\DRESS( LILY $ LIONAL SS-21) 30-06-20 dest top_Default.png

Is there anyway to overcome this issue or need to change in filename only?

EDIT::
When applying as diffuse map only, then its rendering fine. If opacity map is ALSO applied with diffuse, then getting this issue.


Thanks & Regards,
Gopi.

Well, $ is used for udim tags, and # is used for frame number tags internally by V-Ray. So you'd better replace them with something else.

Hello Stan,

Please download the file from the link below (contains vrscene file, two texture files and one hdr - for dome light).

This vrscene file i exported from Max scene where it renders fine. Two textures - one applied as diffuse and another one as opacity map.

this same vrscene file is not rendering (the object is not visible) when i tried to run with gui-demo application (came with SDK samples). but if i remove the opacity map in vrscene file, then it renders the object (diffuse map texture name still has $ )

in vrscene file, in the below section,

BRDFDiffuse a1___Default@mtl_brdf_0_diffuse {
color=Color(0.5882353, 0.5882353, 0.5882353);
color_tex=Map__5@tex_0;
color_tex_mult=1;
transparency_tex=a1___Default@mtl_brdf_0_combine;
}

if i remove this line

transparency_tex=a1___Default@mtl_brdf_0_combine;

then load in gui-demo application, then, object is visible.

Regards,
Gopi.
