Material not showing in viewport

[Nicolaas]

Hello,

After a few years out of the rendering scene I'm back and have to reload my brains

I'm missing a thing I think, bit my vray materials show correct in the editor, but not in the viewport.

Even applying a UV MAP doesn't resolve it..

Can somebody help me..

Sorry for this old newbie question

did you push dis' button?

'Show Shaded Material in Viewport'

If you need several materials to show up, I use this script - http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/sc...ort-maps-onoff

I did, but maybe a hickup, dunno.
It works fine now.. strange. did check map channels etc.
Thanks for your fast reply!!

Another question..

I made this test scene to get back in business..

How can i reduce the noise in the picture frame?

[cheerioboy]

Hmm. Hard to say. Include a few render elements for gi, lighting, reflection, etc and look through those to pin point where the noise is. If it's lighting, up the samples in the lights, or maybe it's in the reflection pass, up the samples in that particular material, etc
