The materials button vanishes when switching to Vray render

Rendering V-Ray

Since updating, the materials button vanishes when switching from rhino render to Vray render. Updating the packages did not resolve this.

Hi Eric -

Does the button reappear when you switch back to the Rhino Render?

Hi @wim,

Could you split the last two posts into a new thread as they relate to a different topic?

Thanks

Hi Jeremy -

I’m not disagreeing but was hoping that the answer to my question would indicate just how much of a different topic this is. Sounds like a different category is in order but I’m not sure yet…

Posted it here as i had the same issue not loading the plugins and was assuming my issue was linked.

The button re-appears when switching back, yes.

Thanks - that sounds like a V-Ray issue then. Move to the V-Ray category.

Any solution here? Very annoying that i cannot select Vray materials in the rhino materias tab anymore.

Hi,

There is no reason for the button to disappear. V-Ray no longer overrides EnableCreateMaterialButton() and EnableEditMaterialButton(). The tab button itself, is removed by Rhino for some reason, but this is the first time I ever see this case. It is certainly not a problem for all the other users.
Could you:

  1. report V-Ray and Rhino versions.
  2. possibly update both of them
  3. do you have any other custom plugins enabled ?

So you run V-Ray for Rhino 6 3.60.03 in Rhino 7 ?
Brave, but that is not supported.
The installer does not give you an option to install for 7, and for strong reasons
In fact I expect it crashes all the time.

V-Ray for Rhino 3.60.03 is not supported anymore either. System Requirements - V-Ray 5 for Rhino - Chaos Help

I think in the times of 3.x we still used to override EnableCreateMaterialButton(). But the main focus there was still Rhino 5

I suggest you run that particular version of V-Ray in Rhino 6

Did you try resetting the toolbars?
