  • Normal Bump not compatible warning

    I often merge in models purchased from 3rd party vendors like cgaxis, render people, etc. These mostly have Normal maps in the bump map slot. Vray returns the warning message "Texture map "Map#2138626214" is not compatible with Vray and may cause problems". It can often be significantly time consuming to track down this map and then change it to a VrayNormal map.

    Is there a script or functionality that could be added to vray to make these changes? Or, would it at least be possible for the error message to identify the materiel/object/location of the problem map?

    V-Ray scene converter should be able to convert those to VRayNormalMaps and everything should work fine.
    Future versions of V-Ray will print more information for materials/objects with unsupported nodes.
