  • max 2014 seems to crash mat library

    some material library's i worked on with max 2014 seems either to be empty now or just a few materials are in there...

    i cant open them with 2013 now. anyone else have this issue?

    Could you please do a step-by-step example. That sounds quite serious if true.

      there is no big step by step, sorry. i simply open the *.mat file with max 2014.

      a saved lib with max 2013 with around 40 shaders is empty now in max 2014, but this still opens in max 2013 (glad i did not save in 2014). there are all png's inside, i have to check this, maybe it will work with jpg.

      one i worked on last week and saved with max 2014 is also empty, another mat-file only show up 4 of around 10.

        Sounds like a nasty bug...

          some screenshot of the library saved with 2013. as you can see 2014 open only one of the around 40 in there.

          ...and 2014 was that convincing to me

            Have you made sure that "Incompatible" materials are visible in the library? If your renderer is anything other than vray that might explain why they're not visible.

              we only use vray here.

              BUT - this only happens if i start max 2014 with new szene - than i can't load some mat-lib in correct way.

              if i open some project, than i can load any mat-lib and it shows up fine.

              Alex, thank's for your help!

                Right but have you checked that your default renderer is Vray? Because if it's MR then when you open a new fresh scene the issue I've described might happen. This would explain why the materials are visible if you open an existing Vray scene.

                    I thought that would be it! Glad you sorted it... it's a nice timesaver if you set Vray to default renderer and use your most common settings. saves a lot of time for most new scenes.
