I’ve been able to load USD files form 3D Max in Maya with all the Vray material in Maya 2022 with Vray 6 update 1.1  
Now with the update 2 if i try the same method all that i get is the default lambert assigned to all the geometry

Do i need to change anything in Vray when i import them??

best regards  
Roberto

Seems to work fine on a fresh setup. Have you set the “Plugin-In Configuration” to V-Ray in the USD exporter (prior exporting to USD)? No need to change anything on import.

I’ve deleted the Maya user folder to delete all preferences

and in one computer with the 2023 versión, Vray 6 hotfix 1 I get all the vray material correct (i`ve to correct some of the Vrayplugin nodes, but this is not a problem)

In the same computer Maya 2022, Vray 6 update 2, all that I get is the USD preview surface materials

in another computer Maya 2022, Vray 6 update 1.1 the Vray materials loads correctly

In all cases is the same file exported from MAX with the Vray export option​, i import the file in all cases with a drag and drop, but no matter if i import the file with the maya file browser, the result is the same
