VRay Softbox spinning wheel or sticky

[sherridge101]

Hi all

any adjustment to the VRay Softbox results in a spinning wheel or sticky delay.

The Softbox is in the 'Rect Tex' with 'Show in Viewport' set to 'Texture only'.

A standard Maya ramp in this slot is snappy and interactive.

The issue is across 3 different Macs - Mac Pro, iMac pro and imac

Not sure if I understand the issue. Are you having trouble previewing the VRay Softbox map in IPR/Viewport? Could you attach a short video of the "spinning wheel or sticky delay"?

Here's a vid showing the delays. The spinny wheel doesn't get captured on the recording, but I think you can see the delays after every tweak:

Thanks for the report. The issue is reproducible, however, currently, the viewport preview of the VRaySoftbox texture is not supported, so it doesn't matter in your case. I've logged the issue (VMAYA-11905) for developer investigation (mentioning the improvement as well). To stop the delay from happening simply set the "Show in viewport" mode in the VRayLight to 'None'. Another way to preview it is in IPR or baking the VRaySoftbox and later importing it as a regular texture.

Great, thanks. Would be cool to have this feature supported.
