I know this isn't really Vray specific, but I reckon somone on here will have the answer as it's such a goldmine of info. To this end i've posted my latest piece of max modeling / vray rendering too !
Thanks in advance.
Ok, so i've finally moved from Max 7 to 8, and as most of the projects I get involved in need to be broken down, I use Xref objects quite a lot. My problem is simply that the textures are not showing on the objects in the max viewports on my Xref objects ? I model everything as usual, apply my textures and enable the one I want to see in the viewport, save the model and all is fine. When I open up a new scene to Xref that object in, it comes in fine apart from the fact that in the viewport it's grey (no texture visible as though it's frozen). When I render all is fine, the material is obviously there it just doesn't show up in the viewport. Anyone know how to fix this, I really like to see my materials in the viewports. We have a couple of machines running Max 8 service pack 3 and it's the same on both ?
