Trying to import vismat file

dangerpowers · 5 Jul 2018, 09:14

Hi,

I've recently upgraded to vray 3 after using vray 1 for many years I can't find the option to import and apply a vismat file to an existing material.

In vray 1, I could right click in the material editor and apply the vismat directly to the material, however I can't see the same option in vray 3. When I import the vismat it creates a new material and I have to switch all my objects over to this new material.

Please help guys, many thanks.

At the bottom of the material panel are 5 icons. The second one looks like a folder and the Mouse Over text says "Import .vrmat File". Vismats are now known as .vrmats.

Beware that old vismats - especially from version 1 (dear God version 1) will just cause issues in 3.x

Start fresh or use the library that VRay comes with.
