A few weeks ago I created a Vray material using the Tile texture. All seemed to be fine until I upgraded to Rhino 7.10 (this is the only reason I can think of why this change suddenly happened). Now the material is showing as grey in Rendered view, and renders grey as well.
Tested creating a brand new generic material with a tile texture, applied it to a box. Still grey in Rendered view
I tried testing on other surfaces, like a Box. I even tried recreating a brand new material with a Tile texture and applied it to another surface, same problem
As far as I can tell you have a procedural texture, inside a procedural texture. Is that correct ?
V-Ray procedurals are not shown in the Rhino viewport, only bitmaps are. You need to bake your procedural map and put it into the “binging” slot of a material to see it in the viewport.
