VrayLight Material - Texture

[tryharder]

the texture in VrayLightMaterial is not displayed in viewport

and

Vray Sky is not displayed in Background

Which 3ds Max version is this? The VRayLightMtl material texture is fine in Nitrous in 3ds Max 2012; VRaySky is fine in all 3ds Max versions except in Nitrous in 3ds Max 2012 (but it's ok in DirectX/OpenGL). The VRaySky will be fixed in Nitrous, but we won't be spending much time on the legacy DirectX/OpenGL modes.

Best regards,
Vlado

sorry forgot to mention:

max 2012 design 64 BIT on win 7 64 BIT
vray latest version 2 SP1
nvidia 580GTX and i7 990X
nitrous active
if i put a texture in the VrayLightMtl it does not show up in viewport

it renders fine but it does not show up in viewport

with directx everything works fine

Have you turned on the "Show realistic material in viewport" option for the VRayLightMtl material?

Best regards,
