Bug? Lost Material Custom Attrbiutes.

[KramSurfer]

Could someone please confirm this issue I'm having?

When I save a VRAY material with a custom attribute to the material library, the custom attribute is lost.

Here is a script to test with.

(
-- Define simple Custom Attribute
TestAtt = attributes TestAtt
(
parameters main rollout:LostWithVrayMaterial
	( ImportantValue ui:Spin01 type:#float )
rollout LostWithVrayMaterial "Custom Attribute loss Test Rollout"
	( spinner Spin01 "This Custom Attribute will be lost." range:[0.0,1000.0,50.0] )
)

-- add custom Attribute to the material in the first slot.
CustAttributes.add meditMaterials[1] TestAtt #Unique 
)

Set slot1 of the material editor to a V-ray material type.
Execute this script and you should see a custom attribute add to the material in editor slot 1. Drag the material from material editor to a material library and back to the editor. The custom Attribute will be lost...

This is not the case with Standard, Architectural or MentalRay materials.

Max 8.3 / Vray 1.5rc

Thanks in Advance !

Hi Vlado,

Any chance of this getting fixed soon? If not we will look into alternative methods. Though attributes on the materials is by far the most eloquent.

Thanks,

Eric

So this is an easy fix and I've already corrected it. This will go into the next RC, but you can email me if you wish to get it working before that.

Best regards,
Vlado
