V-Ray Material Missing From Shader Tree

[peepo]

Hi

I could be going mad in the hot weather here, but the V-Ray material option does not seem to appear in the shader tree - please see attached. Either in a search, or adding a new item - no V-Ray Material!

There's a glitch in modo that removes custom materials from the menu sometimes. Try selecting the environment, then a material under the render item, and try the menu again

Thanks 1funk - very helpful. I just went back into the scene having had the computer off, and the menu is there again. I'll follow your advice if it happens again.
