  • Material Editor Preview after Max Reset

    The material preview window for V-Ray materials shows flat or solid black after performing a File > Reset in 3ds Max. I'm running the latest version of V-Ray 5, hotfix 2 and the most recent 3ds Max 2021 w/ December update. This only affects V-Ray materials.

    It looks like the renderer is turned to scanline, or analogous.
    Do you have a maxstart.max file that instructs max to do so, or did you pick any other UI preset than Max/V-Ray?

      I appreciate the quick response. That actually fixed it. I originally set the renderer and material editor to V-Ray so that it all starts up correctly, but I didn't notice that it was resetting the material editor only after a Max reset. Even after saving saving the defaults again, it still resets the material editor to Scanline, but at least I know what I missed. Thank you!
