No Node Space for V-Ray Node Materials

[alexander_tschopoff]

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing an issue with V-Ray 7.00.00 (Build from January 22, 2025) in combination with Cinema 4D 2025.1.2 on MacOS 14.5. When I create a V-Ray Node Material and set V-Ray as the renderer, I am unable to edit the material in the Node Editor.Under "Node Space", I see the following message:
"There is no Node Space. Click Add to create a new Node Space."
The options available are:

V-Ray: Delete
Redshift: Add
Standard: Add

It seems like the V-Ray Node Space exists but is not functioning or initializing correctly. Even if I select "Delete" and try to re-add the Node Space, the issue persists.I have already tried the following steps:

- Ensuring that V-Ray is selected as the active renderer in the Render Settings.
- Restarting Cinema 4D after making changes to the Node Space.
- Verifying that all software versions are up to date (Cinema 4D 2025.1.2 and V-Ray 7 from January 22, 2025).
- Resetting Cinema 4D preferences by deleting the preferences folder.

Unfortunately, none of these steps resolved the issue, and I am still unable to edit V-Ray Node Materials in the Node Editor.Has anyone encountered a similar issue or has any suggestions on how to fix this? Are there any known bugs or workarounds for these versions of Cinema 4D and V-Ray?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Hi alexander_tschopoff,
Can you make sure that V-Ray is selected in Render/Node Spaces? Usually when swapping renderers from the render settings Cinema4D will also change the active node space, however, it won't do that if you had manually changed the node space previously.

Thank you very much! That solved the problem.
