Force Materials console error

[Gosho.Genchev]

did you take a look at my scene?

You're right, there's a problem with the Material Builder and the Material Output nodes - if you use those to assign the materials before writing out the alembic, they won't be picked up at render time.

I'll log it. Meanwhile, assigning the material itself directly should work for you. E.g. "/mat/vrayMtl" instead of "/mat/vrayMaterialBuilder1". This will prevent you from using the Material Builder VOP, though.

I appear to be having this issue as of VRay for Houdini number 11249 from Jan 27 2021 - VRay Core 5.00.50. - Is this fixed in more recent nightlies?

Hi bender83, I can't reproduce it on my side. Can you share a simple scene ?

Hi Georgy - I have another post where I resolved this!
