  • Missing fields in vray mesh material

    I'm not sure what is going on but there seems to be a missing field in the maya interface for the vray mesh material. I'm using 3.60.04 with maya 2017. See attached image.

    That's odd. Can you help us reproduce it on our end so we can fix it?
    Does this happen when you make a new scene or when you load a scene saved with a previous version of Maya or V-Ray?

      Happens with a new scene. Not really sure how to reproduce it. This is basically the state of it when maya launches. I also cleared my maya prefs (the 2017 folder in my user directory) and the problem persists.

        Are you creating the MeshMaterial first and then assigning it to a proxy, by any chance?

          Yes I am, is that something that's not allowed ? Seems like a strange limitation.

            It's allowed (for now), but it's not going to work well.
            The intended usage is to import a proxy using the provided 'import proxy' option. Then the meshMtl is automatically imported and all the relevant information is auto-filled.
            Creating it manually is always going to create troubles, we just haven't figured a safe way to disable it from being created manually in the UI.
