Issues with Max 2020.2 update

[gardocki]

I just updated to 2020.2 and I've noticed a couple issues:

1.) VraySky no longer appears in viewport background if used as an environment map
2.) Viewport IPR option is missing. Now a greyed-out message reads "Active Shade - Scanline Renderer not supported"

Hello! Is it V-Ray Next your current renderer?

Viewport IPR seems to work correctly here:


If V-Ray Next/V-Ray GPU Next is not your current production renderer - then the menu is hidden.

As for the VRaySky - it's a known issue and it was not working even before Update2 unfortunately.

Best regards,
Yavor

Yes it's Vray Next update 2.1. Windows 10 latest update if that helps.

As for the VRaySky - it's a known issue and it was not working even before Update2 unfortunately.

Ah, you're right. I knew that. 3ds Max defaults to having Environment BG turned on in the viewport now, that's what was making it look different. Sorry, disregard that part.

You could try to manually add the Viewport IPR menu like described here:

Thanks or that idea, it let me figure out the actual problem: If you use a Workspace other than Default, the Vray IPR option disappears. I was using the Alt Menu workspace, and switching back to Default brought it back.
