Hello I am having an issue with the vray vrmat materials I saved a simple shader from max and went and opened in maya but when I go to show VRmat editor maya crashes

Update just incase I am using maya 2015 64bit sp 5

Sorry for the extra post but I am using maya 2015 64bit sp5 windows 8.1 64. I remember this being an issue when I was beta testing but I thought it was fixed. Anyway I just purchased a lic for max and would like to transfer assets quickly.

Yes - this bug persisted in the beta version but it has been fixed for the official one.
Does it crash if you create a new Vray VRmatMtl and open VRmat Editor instead loading Material File?

[Jvincentfx45]

Yes I remember I also remember it being fixed. I have a official copy of Vray I tried even creating a new material and opening the editor but it crashes as well. I also deleted my user prefs file and restarted maya and still same crash. I can use the material but I am unable to edit the material. Is it worth doing a reinstall of Vray Update tried to do a reinstall this does not work either still crashes I just checked and this does not happen in maya 2014 only in maya 2015. I will try and check and see if there is some interference with any loaded plugin.



Okay I unloaded all the plugins no luck there

This crash can also happen if you have PYTHONPATH env variable pointing to another Python version.

[Jvincentfx45]

Is there some quick instructions sink can check the Python env path and we're should it be pointed?

Thanks, J

set | findstr PYTHON

Maya 2012 was setting it to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2012\Python\lib\site-packages
I don't think newer Maya versions set it any more globally. But first try to start Maya 2015 with proper env var from a bat file with this content:

set PYTHONPATH=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\Python\lib\site-packages
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\bin\maya"

And see if this works. My guess is that newer Maya versions do not need PYTHONPATH and it can be just deleted, but other software may still use it. So the bat file is the safest way to go.

Perfect let me give this a try and report back

Thanks

Hello I know it has been some time since this post for the most part i have been working around it but I am starting a project with a colleague and he is using max and I am using maya it would be great to share materials. I have just tried the below resolution but the file still crashes. I can create the material but when I go to open the editor maya 2015 crashes every time. I can do this in maya 2014 but in maya 2015 i only get crashes.

Sorry I should say I am using maya 2015 sp5 and vray 3.01 the latest official release.

thanks, jimmy

Thank you Jimmy, we've received the file. When we have any news, will reply to the ticked or post here.

We have reproduced the issue here. It seems to happen only with Maya 2015 and Windows 8. Still investigating...

[Jvincentfx45]

Ah this makes sense as I tested this at the office computer and I have Maya 2015 there but am running windows 7 and everything worked on well hope we can figure it out. I have solid faith in you guys.

Thanks jimmy
