Bad materials in rendered view vray

I dont get why it is glitching. Textures are not displayed even though correctly defined in vray asset manager. Some of the materials look transparent and they shouldnot. I suspected drivers but this is just after the update. No change.

On my laptop:

on my pc

it does not show material thumbnails correctly.


btw my vray is up to date.
other btw. purge command does not purge vray materials when not used. *there is dedicated tool inside vray for that

restoring defaults solved half of the issues. but textures are still missing.

Have you contacted Chaosgroup with your example file?

no, i cant say if its vrays or rhinos issue. because in vray asset manager material looks ok but its not tranlated in rhinos thumbnails nor rendered view.

The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Rhino V7 “Rhino Render” and assign new materials.
See if that works.
We can’t help you with VRay.

actually those few green stuff is rhino material not vray. those textures are the only ones displayed. so probably its vrays thing. i have posted on their forum by now.
