So after installing Vray6 the default long list of Vray assets when you right click is gone and now you just have object properties. I went ahead and manually added all the things Vray5 had on its list, however everytime I reopen 3d max it resets to default. Seems like Vray is overriding 3d maxs defaults?
The quads options now have their own section in the V-Ray menu (V-Ray>VFB/Exporters/Converters). Otherwise, I tried adding some of the options in the quads menu and they are saved properly. The renderer has to be V-Ray to see them, though.
Can you please share a little more light on the first thing you mentioned “V-Ray menu (V-Ray>VFB/Exporters/Converters)”, I am kind of dumb and dont quite understand.
After you mentioned the Quads do save on your end I went and tried to add them on another workstation here at the office. Sadly same situation, as soon as I restart max it goes back to default setup where the only Vray option I have when I right click is “Vray Properties”,
Attached is a visual of how I am setting them up to be which is somehow not saving. I honestly am not sure why, I also know when I click the “Vray Menu Registration” button, it also makes all the options go away besides the object properties.
I was about to write about this issue.
Whenever i edit the quads manually on 3dsmax, it keeps resetting and it doesn´t stick when i close max.
Okay Perfect, so its not just me! Glad more people are having this issue because I was worried I am messing up on my end and blaming Vray.
That happens with vray 6 and max 2023, i was pretty sure it was a max 2023 thing. But let me know if you are using 2023 as well
Nope. I am still on max 2021. I installed Vray 6 couple days ago and noticed this issue. Downgraded back to Vray5 and it was fine. Upgraded to Vray6 and the issue is back. Certainly something with Vray.
I see.
It will be fixed, i hope!
Ohh no no, I only tried the Vray menu Registration after the reset kept happening. The reset occurs no matter what and is somehow caused by Vray. Not sure how or why but as you can see Brunonz also is running into same issue.
Yes, it happens at my home pc and at the office aswell. It is a Vray thing unfortunately since i have tested on 3dsmax 2021 and 2023.
Check this thread and particularly the post about the “Read-only” ENU folder.
Thanks for your help, but doesn´t work either.
Hermit, not sure how else to put it. It has nothign to do with 3d max or any certain config. Its 100% Vray 6. Its an issue with the new release thats causing it. No other way to put it and no reason to try and point a finger at something else causing the problem, this is an internal Vray 6 issue plain and simple.
Try using the script provided by Autodesk here (post 20). Also, check if your “Save UI Configuration on Exit” option (Customize>Preferences>General>UI Display) is enabled.
Hello again.
Tried both. Still not working. Did the script as well as checked my settings.
Again, I am not sure how else to rephrase this. If I install Vray 5 right now, it will work 100% perfect. I have done this test and it fixes it. It is a Vray6 issue somewhere.
It must be something specific since it is working fine on my end (V-Ray 6, 3ds Max 2023). Are you starting 3ds Max as an admin? Try resetting your 3ds Max to its defaults (save the old ENU folder).
Also, do you have the latest 3ds Max 2021.3 update installed? The issue is an Autodesk one (it appears with, but it’s not caused by V-Ray).
Let me take a look at my 3d max updates. Again, Vray5 works perfect, Vray6 has this hiccup. I know you mention it has nothing to do with Vray but how is it that 5 works and 6 doesn’t? I install 5 things save, I install 6 things dont. I am not that smart but from this pattern its safe to say its something related to 6?
Totally agree, we shouldn´t use scripts or workarounds, only if we know it´s going to be fixed in a near future.
