lightMtl attributes not updating in RT

V-Ray V-Ray for Maya Issues
1

Hi all,

thought i would start a new thread for this so it was clearer.

When assigning a VRayLightMt to a piece of geometry, the changing of attributes does not update in RT.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi johnjoe,

Can you try to show the Shading Engine/Group in the attribute editor before modifying the material?

Not sure what you mean by that Teodor?

But it appears the lightMtl now updates in RT as of Nov 25th or 26th build so all ok.

Cheers,

Joe

Johnjoe,

1. Select the material in the attribute editor
2. Click the button "Goto output connections " (the bottom button next to the name of the material).
When you click the button Maya will show the shading engine/group should in the attribute editor.
This sometimes fixes the updating problem.

Ah ok. So your just by literally viewing the shading group of that material it will trigger something in RT and when you change a setting in the material it will update.

Will keep this in mind.

Many thanks,

Joe
