Material Optimizer Script - progress bar?

[Morne]

Hi Team

Is it possible to get a progress bar for this?

My CPU was on 100% doing "something", but the VFB was just black with a text lable at the bottom saying "preparing effects".
I cancelled it after 10 minutes because although the CPU was at 100%, visually I didnt see it doing anything

Hi Morne,

Thanks for the info.

Could you please send us the following log files:

• %LOCALAPPDATA%\Autodesk\3dsMax\[MAXVERSION] - 64bit\ENU\scripts\VRayMtlOptimizer.log
• %TEMP%\vraylog.txt

There is a progress bar actually, but it updates when an object has been processed. There are other processes involved like unwrapping and rendering, that have their own ways to indicate progress. In your specific case some material has to be baked using texture baking through V-Ray, but something causes unexpectedly long scene preparation time. Hopefully, the logs will show what's going on.

Bet regards,
Simeon
