VRayMtlSelect doesn't work?

[JonasNöll]

Hi,

I have an issue that I don't get the MtlSelect Element to work.
I didn't really use it before, so not really sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I should just instance a shader from the scene into it and it should give me an element with just this shader or? But somehow the element is always purely black.
Tried out both, the latest nightly built and also the official version hotfix 2 version from the download folder.

Hello,

Are you by any chance only trying IPR and not production rendering ? (There's a known issue that the MtlSelect render element doesn't work in IPR).

Best regards,
Yavor

Oh alright, yes it works in production rendering. I would consider adding that information to the documentation page
Thx for the fast help!
