Substance2 material, Substance to V-Ray, 3dsMax 2022

[sheffield_hallam_rf]

Hi,

Any idea why 3ds Max hangs for minutes on end (gets there eventually) whenever I create a Substance 2 material, run the Substance to V-Ray script and apply the V-Ray Mtl to an object in the viewport. It's fine up until the point of applying to an object. At this point everything freezes for a minute or 2. Viewport is set to standard and textures limited to 512. Tried many SBSAR files and always get the same issue. Unwrapping also causes a long hang/delay.

Cheers!

Running:
3dsMax 2022 (most up to date update as of June 2021)
V-Ray 5 (most up to date update as of June 2021)
Threadripper 3970x
RTX 3070

Does not seem to happen on my end. For starters try updating the Substance plugin itself and see if that makes any difference.

Thanks for looking into this. Still not figured out why it's an issue for me but discovered that Substance to Physical Material does the trick so will just use this instead. Pretty sure the Substance plugin for 2022 is up to date BTW. No updates available on Adobe's website.

Using Substances in Max 2022 brings Max to its knees on my machine. I can get away with one but two, three or more and Max is unusable. Everything is updated.

Have you updated your 3ds Max to the latest update? Does this happen with another render engine?

Has anyone gotten anywhere with this? Substance in 3DS Max 2022 with Arnold renderer is also slow. Unbelievably slow. I've posted on Arnold Autodesk as test and log that confirms this, but it hasn't been resolved. Someone has forwarded to MaxToA people but it seems to not be an Arnold issue or Vray issue. Also 2023 Max. So this has gone neglected for a while now and no one seems to care.
