Ok, just moved over to WinXP x64, I have Max9 32 and 64 bit installed.

On 64bit when I switch to Vray renderer, all my standard materials go black and they are PAINFULLY slow to refresh. When I load a Vray material, it shows correctly, but is EVEN SLOWER to refresh.. and we’re talking minutes here.

32bit doesn’t have the black standard materials problem, but it does still have the painfully slow Vray material problem.

Any ideas? Is it just an x64 thing?

brake, is vray set as the renderer for the material editor?

It could also be a missing maps issue or a graphics card issue.

Isn’t this a known RC3 max 9 bug? I assume its fixed for RC4?
