Set trace depth for all materials

[MANUEL_MOUSIOL]

Hi,

is there a script or any other way available to set the reflection/refraction trace depth for all materials in the scene? I have hundreds of materials that I would like to adjust and then afterwards just adjust the global settings for preview purposes and so on.

Thanks everybody

This is a great one. Haven't used it in a while but should still work, can't remeber if it did trace depths though.

Thank you!
I will try it out. Quite old, hopefully it works with the latest version...

Or just with this :

for m in (getclassinstances vraymtl ) do
(
local myDepth = 5
m.reflection_maxDepth = myDepth
m.refraction_maxDepth = myDepth
)

(where 5 can obviously be replaced with the number you want)
