material editor problems with vray5

Can a fix be made so that when vray5 is assigned to the material editor in the render setup, the checkered background button in the compact material editor works again please. Currently it does not, neither does the custom background nor the ‘sample type’ button.

ps: using max2022

All these are working fine on '22…at least for myself.

Really ? thats odd. if i switch to scanline or ART they work but not when vray5 is selected. How annoying … If anyone has any ideas or thoughts i’d appreciate it. works fine with next in 2019.
could it have anything to do with my card settings ? geforce rtx3080

I presume you’re using our own material swatch preview. For these options to function properly, you would need to revert back to the 3ds Max native material swatches (Settings>System>Native 3ds Max material swatches).

Brilliant. That did the trick. I thought it must be something simple. Thanks very much.

Aha…that is why mine worked in that case…Vray ones soooo slooooow :stuck_out_tongue:
