Node materials editor in Vray 6.2

[lukas_kostka]

Hi, in the latest version node materials open as standard, with a button "open in node editor" in the material window. Is there a way to open node materials in the node editor directly, as in previous vray versions? This now is a bit annoying.
Thank you.

Hello lukas_kostka Could you please check if the option Always Open Node Editor in the Preference window is enabled? If not, please enable it.

Hello lukas_kostka In order to assist you I would need some additional information:

Could you please share with us the exact V-Ray build you are using?
Do you mean V-Ray 6.2 in general has or just the latest Stable Build ?
A video reference of what exactly it is you are describing?

Hello viktor_angelov I uloaded the video. What you can see at the beginning is also a bug where I need to click repeatedly on the material icon for it to be displayed. But that is not the issue I am writing about. As you can see node material does not open in node editor directly.

Hello lukas_kostka Thank you for the video! I have investigated the situation further and it worked as expected on my end. Please, refer to the video: http://ftp.chaosgroup.com/support/sc...4_09-29-10.mp4

I would ask you to update to the latest Stable build and try again: https://nightlies.chaos.com/main#/vray6c4d/stable/6.2

Please, let me know if this resolves the situation.

Hello viktor_angelov
OK, I checked, and here is how it is.

In C4D 2024 there is this option in the preferences menu and node material opens in the node editor directly, so it is OK.
But I am currently working on old Cinema 26 merely because as I wrote in another thread, the latest C4D2024 does not work with Chaos Scatter, an that is a BIG problem for me.

C4D 26 does not have this option for node materials in the Preference panel.

I still need to try latest build.

Hi lukas_kostka - Chaos Scatter problems in Cinema 4D 2024 should be resolved with builds after 15 January 2024.

[viktor_angelov]

lukas_kostka The Chaos Scatter issue [VC4D-2117] has been resolved and the implemented fix you can find in any Stable build after 15th of January 2024: https://nightlies.chaos.com/main#/vray6c4d/stable/6.2

With that being said, updating to the latest Stable and than making sure the Always Open Node Editor in the Preference window is enabled should resolve the situation.

viktor_angelov, deyan.hadzhiev OK, that is great news then.
