working on a vray scene without a license

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Issues
1

My modeller is trying to work on a scene that i’ve lit and textured and he is complaining that the entire scene is black due to the vray plugin being missing and there are no textures. - i tried ‘disable all maps’ but its still all black. tried an omni with 5- 5000 brightness and still no dice

how can he view the scene properly without untexturing everything to a max texture, and therefore creating me a lot of work?

One solution is to install the V-Ray demo version.

Otherwise, if you used V-Ray materials, then there is really nothing that can be done - the material is missing to provide any color information for the viewport geometry, so 3dsmax assumes it is black.

Best regards,
