Installation from ZIP no material library browser

[ali_cgi]

Hi running maya 2022 here with vray 5, 1.1
I have all the environment variables pointed correctly according to the docs but the material library doesn't show when clicked on the shelf of menu,
I dont get an error either, the maya console just prints vrayShowAssetBrowserCmd;

Hello there,

Is it possible to describe what type of OS you are using, since this can be really useful information for the problem?

Hello again,

Have you tried to download the V-Ray Material Library using the tool (mtllib.exe) located in
1. C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya20XX\vray\bin\ (this is for normal V-Ray builds)
2. The location/forder you have unziped the V-Ray ZIP build for Maya\vray_adv_51021_maya20xx_x64\maya_vray\bin\ (this is for a ZIP build installation)

If not, can you please try this option and if the problem still occures do not hesitate to contact us again.

Kind Regards,
Dimitrina

Hi, I havnt tried this as we are running a zip instalation not the regular installer instalation, vray isnt installed to program files, so this isnt a solution,
Is the new material library included in the zip instalation yet?
My vray bin folder does not have the executable mtllib.exe

Hello again,

I have updated the information for the location of the tool for V-Ray for Maya ZIP installations above.
Can you please check again and confirm if you are able to find it?

Kind Regards,
