      Hi,

      Everytime I import and apply materials to a model in the usual way through the Vray material editor
      they seem to dissapear when I close and reopen the model. The Names are still in the list but the
      material settings reset to the default like would happen when you create a material from scratch.
      All settings are lost etc...

      Anybody any ideas?

      Couldn't face applying materials again and starting over for the third time 😞

        Known bug. Before you save the model, open and close the V-Ray Option window.

          I'm experiencing the same problem (in SU Pro 7.1). The Options Window workaround has no effect whatsoever. A few changes stick (e.g, inversion of a bumpmap bitmap), most are lost, no matter if I open and close the options window and save and reload the model. Changes that get lost seem to be lost the very moment I hit Apply - the material preview doesn't change, and if I reopen the panel that I just closed values will already have reverted back to their initial state.

          This is a pretty serious and seriously galling bug to find in software with this pricetag!
