Multiple material layers

ledisnomad · 12 Apr 2011, 21:10

SU 8, VRay 1.49.01
Has anybody else had this problem?

After I save, close, and reopen the file this is gone, but if I don't close it out, I start to get weird behavior with my materials (can't edit, doesn't show all the layers under the material name, etc). Any help is much appreciated.

I heard reports on that in earlier beta versions. Never seen it myself. Report it to ASGVis support.

Thanks, thomthom. Just submitted a support ticket.

Yes I've seen that one happen... don't remember what I did to make it happen. Haven't seen it happen recently though. I think I fixed it by resetting materials via help>debug.
Any word from ASGVis about it?

No, no word. They wrote back, asked a few questions, then asked for the model. I can't send it to them because we have a confidentiality agreement on the project. So that was the end of that. I haven't seen it recently, but I think I discovered when it happens: I've been getting an error dialog box from VRay occasionally and then my materials get messed up. I think it happens when I have either Adobe Photoshop CS5 and/or Autocad 2007 running. I haven't tried recreating it, though.

Same happened to me. It seems to happen after a crash for me.
The material also lost its reflection layers and replaced them with
multipule diffuse, option and tap tabs.

Yup, that sounds about the same as me. I lose reflection layers, too. I seem to get the error rendering most often when I have Photoshop or another instance of SketchUp open.

Thats prob the same with me too. I'll start testing with PS and other SU closed.
