weve just updated to 3ds 2027.2, the latest vray & vantage (3.4). dropping in a HDRI - one from cosmos - if we live link to vantage and tick “lock texture to icon” the hdri wont update if we rotate it, other objects update live in the scene still so the link is still active. Oddly got the same issue on 3 of our 5 pcs - 2 worked out of the box like normal & we cant spot any differences in the setup. Any ideas what we can check/might have missed would be appreciated.
Whit the V-ray GPU engine selected, can you try to start VFB IPR (GPU) and check if it works that way ? So we can see whether the issue is during the export or at the Vantage side.
thanks for the idea - IPR in both the older 3ds 2026 and 2027 both work with the rotating HDRI (within 3ds) so it seems to be more likely isolated to vantage. it seems to get the information from the HDRI intially, then loose communcation, but only for that light. Vray sun&sky work and update between 3ds and vantage perfectly.
Is there any information in the Vantage log at the time when it stops?
Btw, this is with a simple new 3dsMax scene or a project file?
correct, new simple scene (plane, teapot & HDRI - tried both importing cosmos HDRIs and creating new ones). Nothing appears in either the vantage logs, Vray render log in 3ds that pops up or the 3ds listener window. We do see the HDRI load and light the scene, so it receives that info, just doesnt seem to receive any other updates, non of - multiplier for the light, toggling it on/off, changing the map in the material editor at this point works either). if at this point we drop in a vray sun it lights and updates as normal.
youre a star, “remove property edit” worked a treat. thank you! never would have thought to look there
