Material style sheets doesn't work in vray

[walter_matheosjr]

The "material style sheet" feature doesn´t work in the latest version of vray.

All my pipeline assets tools works with "Material Style Sheets" and I now need to know when this is will resolved because I need to update my vray version for other reasons and this is making impossible to do.

Please, I waiting for a answers as soon as possible.



ps.: I have upload two images, from different version of vray from the same .hip scene file. Just reading what you see in image and will see only one works correct.

Dear walter_matheosjr, hello.

The issue is reproduced and logged in our system. Thank you for reporting!
To use a newer stable than the official release build, I could suggest stable from March 07 - it is working there according to my tests.
Please keep this in mind until the fix is ready.

Best regards,
TS

Ok, But my Houdini version is 19.0.561 and the latest version from March 07 is 19.0.498. Will there some compatibility problem?

[tsvetomira.girginova]

It is not recommend to mix them, yes.
On one of the screenshots 18.5 was shown, that's why I haven't mentioned this detail.

We will try to provide a fix soon, but please use only matching V-Ray & Houdini versions till then.

[walter_matheosjr]

Ok, understood. I'll waiting for the fix version, thanks for support.

Material stylesheets support is removed as it was never complete and caused a lot of issues.
If you need procedural shading use TexPatternID with MtlMulti/TexMulti along with geometry attributes.

So you are saying that the material style sheet feature will not be corrected for the next vray version build?

Yes.
They were removed ~5 month ago from the nightly builds.
