Strange material assigned to Vray camera.

[jstrob]

i am trying to clean a scene where i can see some images in the asset tracker that I don't use anymore. When I look in my Scene Materials, I see some textures being assigned to VRay camera. I think they are textures I used as viewport background before but i removed them from the background. The only way I found to stop those file from being reference in the asset tracker is to select them in the material editor and change their path for another texture that I am really using n the scene. But how come those textures became linked to the vray camera?

The camera does have a texture slot for a distortion texture (and maybe bitmap aperture), is it possible that they are connected there somehow?

Best regards,

I never used that option. I just used that texture as a viewport background once but I disconnected it.

You can see there is nothing connected there:

It would be best to get us a scene to vray@chaosgroup.com then for investigation.

Hi,

I've just checked the scene now and I assume this could happen when additional plugins or scripts are used .
Can you try to duplicate the camera on the same position and delete the first one? All attached maps should be removed from the scene then.

thanks for you answer

I use RPManager could it be due to this plugin?

If I duplicate the camera and erase the first one it does not work, I still have the reference to the texture with the new one.

I also tried to merge the camera in a new scene but the reference also follow.

Thank you.

I installed RPManager to test with, but didn't find any options that may add or connect additional maps to the V-ray cam.
It is very odd, did you find something meanwhile? Somehow all of the environmental slot maps are attached to the V-ray camera.
I will try to find more information.

Ok thanks. I will try to reproduce the scene from scratch to see when the association between texture and camera happen. And I will also contact Grant who make RPManager if it seems related to it.
