You have to choose vray as your render engine instead of scanline or mental ray for the materials to show up in the material editor.

Hi,

I have the same problem as what Chrissm had.
I tried what Tony suggested, but what I can see in the material editor is still a black ball.
This happens when I use Max R5, and it is fine with Max R6.
Can anyone tell me the trick?

Thank you,

Seishi

In max 5 you have to open the material editor options and select the current renderer instead of scanline.
