Show Map in Viewport Crash Error

[dgsantana]

For a few instance i was happy with the "Show Map in Viewport" of the VrayMtl in 3dsmax 9 but it doesn't work. So don't be tempted to press or it will crash max.

Yeah, I was so happy that it worked finally in max8

Hi Vlado, i tried in max 8 and it still crashed max. I used a procedural checker map in the diffuse slot, in both maxes.

Ok then; if worse comes to worse, we can remove this option.

i must be getting creepy versions, ive never gotten a crash and i use maps in viewport all the time

[dgsantana]

The problem is not in the individual maps but on shader level (root), Da_Elf.
Vlado, isn't it possible to redirect the "default" show map of the vraymtl to the diffuse slot. It would be a really nice time saver if it work. For now i'm so used to the old workflow that i won't pressed the button by mistake many times.

For me i have this prob only when i am in direct 3d mode. In openGL, works fine. I use max 9 - 64 bits - Quadro FX 4000

[dgsantana]

I'am on max 9 - 32bit (at home i will check 65bit) quadro fx 3500 - Dx9. In OpenGL it works!!. But since the big optimizations are on dx9 i will stay in dx.

same issue here, show map in viewport at shader level crashes my viz 2005 VR1.5RC3

a.

In scenes made with 47.03 and saved with maps on, once loaded in max 9/rc3 they'll crash even if i try the menu command to hide them all.

It will crash only with DirectX; this is corrected now for RC4.

Lele, you couldn't have saved a scene with the maps on in 1.47, since this button was greyed out in that version and could not have been on, so I suppose something else is going on. If you wish, you can send a crashing scene to me at vlado@chaosgroup.com to take a look.
