[BUG] Material editor imports Vray Sun

[Candelero]

I have done exactly how DaForce explained it.
The problem seems to be related to the < linking the sky to the sun >.
If you leave the sky unlinked (by default) - that't WON'T happen, when importing the materials.

Hey Vlado, seeing as your back now.

Just wondering if you had a chance to test this yet?

It would appear that this a 3dsmax issue, I'm afraid. It happens when you have in your environment a VRaySky map that is explicitly linked to a VRaySun. It may be impossible to fix this on our side.

Ok, well atleast we know the cause.

Its abit of a bugger that its a 3dsmax issue.
Would it be possible to have something thats abit of a hack like a check that when the material is imported then if a vraysun is also brought across it gets delete without the user knowing?

I guess its not a huge deal... rather annoying tho.

Thanks for looking into this guys

It may be possible, however, to create a callback via scripting to delete any new sun upon material import.
Of course, the easiest way is to create a selection set for the scene sun, so to be quick getting rid of any new ones, not to mention naming it properly in the first place .

I guess for the lazy ones like DaForce, though, the scripting way is more preferable

Oui, like Sun5pm, SunRise, SunSet, DaForceSun, LeleSun, etc.
