wipe VRay nodes from the scene

[flat]

How do wipe VRay nodes from the scene, including VRaySettingsNode?

Depending on the scene, even if you delete the VRaySettingsNode, the VRaySettingsNode will be added automatically when save.

Please use V-Ray Next and V-Ray 5.

Is there a solution?

Not sure if there is, it is how the settings are saved in the scene. Is there a reason for wanting this?

Required to pass data to users who do not have V-Ray.

Currently I have the following issues:

- Even if you uncheck load/Auto load for V-Ray in Plugin Manager and restart Maya, the V-Ray plug-in will be loaded when you load the Maya scene containing V-Ray data.

- Crash when saving Maya scene after forcibly unloading V-Ray with Plugin Manager.

In other words, to make a V-Ray node an Unknown node and remove it, I need to uninstall V-Ray.

How do I create a Maya scene without a VRay node without uninstalling V-Ray?

Yes, the plugins are automatically loaded if a scene contains V-Ray nodes and V-Ray is installed. Not much you can do I'm afraid, except giving your client the scene as it is (he will get a missing plugins warning), but he can remove the unknown nodes through the Optimize scene option (File>Optimize Scene> Remove Unknown nodes).

Thank you for the advice from the developers.
I understand that it is a specification.

The following posts are interesting. It would be nice if vray also had a purge and save command.
