VRay switch material in 3dsmax viewport issues

Hi there, I’ve been experimenting with Vray switchmaterial.

Is there a way to get the materials in the switch material to show up in the 3dsmax viewport to show up without using IPR render?

If possible, I would like to get the maps on the switch material appearing or at least a colour of the diffuse component for reference.

I’ve tried turning on show material for the submaterials and it sort of worked.
I’m using vray Next and 3dsmax 2019. Thanks in advance for any help.


Hello!

This feature is not fully implemented yet. It’s logged in our bug tracking system as issue number VMAX-8181.
I’ll add your request to it.

Thank you for reporting!

Best regards,

Hi Margarita, thanks for getting back to me.

I’ve just upgraded to vray next and being able to visualise this feature in the max viewpoort would be a huge time saver for material setup, as in my line of work we often are reusing the same model and UV structure :wink:

Kind Regards
Kirado

We’ll have this in mind. I upgraded the priority of the issue.
