How do wipe VRay nodes from the scene, including VRaySettingsNode?
Depending on the scene, even if you delete the VRaySettingsNode, the VRaySettingsNode will be added automatically when save.
Please use V-Ray Next and V-Ray 5.
Is there a solution?
Not sure if there is, it is how the settings are saved in the scene. Is there a reason for wanting this?
Required to pass data to users who do not have V-Ray.
Currently I have the following issues:
- Even if you uncheck load/Auto load for V-Ray in Plugin Manager and restart Maya, the V-Ray plug-in will be loaded when you load the Maya scene containing V-Ray data.
- Crash when saving Maya scene after forcibly unloading V-Ray with Plugin Manager.
In other words, to make a V-Ray node an Unknown node and remove it, I need to uninstall V-Ray.
How do I create a Maya scene without a VRay node without uninstalling V-Ray?
Yes, the plugins are automatically loaded if a scene contains V-Ray nodes and V-Ray is installed. Not much you can do I’m afraid, except giving your client the scene as it is (he will get a missing plugins warning), but he can remove the unknown nodes through the Optimize scene option (File>Optimize Scene> Remove Unknown nodes).
Thank you for the advice from the developers.
I understand that it is a specification.
The following posts are interesting. It would be nice if vray also had a purge and save command.
