Hi, impossible to open Vray Material Builder Node after updating to Houdini 20.5.332 and V-Ray for Houdini hash:8c90a65 from 02 Dec 2024 10:37 V-Ray Core 6.20.24 [2d08c24a] from 29 Nov 2024. The Vray Material Node has become a "Add" node with a "+" Symbol and can't be open. Very annoying to lose all the materials. Is there any known fix? Thanks

Hey creac ,
This usually means the nodes themselves are missing, probably due to a corrupt installation. Are you seeing any errors in the console when starting Houdini?
Best regards! -
Hi Gosho.Genchev, nope nothing. No log about possible corrupt installation. Vray is working normally. I can create materials using Material Builder, render.. no issue. Which install could be potentially corrupted, houdini or vray?Comment

Hey creac ,
I was assuming the UI definitions were not being loaded properly due to a corrupt V-Ray install. If you're seeing no errors, that's probably not the case.
I'll grab this specific build to check on my end, and message back in a bit.

Hey creac ,
It turns out both me and a colleague of mine are unable to find this particular build. When did you download it? It's very likely it was deleted from the nightly builds a long time ago after we found issues with it.
Best regards!Comment

Gosho.Genchev, not sure actually, in the last past 4months I would say.. but that's fine I will update with a more recent one and hopefully it will solve it. Thanks!
