vraymat material appearing blank

[stevesideas]

I've loaded a vraymat material that has been exported from Maya. I'm loading into max but it just appears blank. It should have textures and a number of other shader properties. Any ideas ?

Would it be possible to attach the Maya scene with the material + the already exported material for investigation?

It's just a simple XML file. Use a text editor and open it up and see where the textures are pointing to. (the textures in here can't be seen by Asset Tracker)

I'm under NDA for the scene so I'll send the file to your support if that is okay.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.

I've sent a vraymat to support. The odd thing is that when I open up some materials they are fine. As soon as I open up the editor they go blank. Should I basically not open up the editor ? Not sure why the material would suddenly change just for that ?!

Are you on 2017? As far I remember, the editor doesn't yet work on 2017

The other thing is. Now that I've opened editor if I try and re-load the vraymat from the file it is still blank. Have I now overwritten the file ? That just seems wrong to me.
