Material Editor Freeze ?

[higgledyhiggles]

Just playing with the demo in 2015.
On a scene converted from vray. I`m checking for incompatible materials so I have s`show scene materials` and `Show Materials/Maps/Incomplete` ticked ON. fine so far... then when i tick OFF `Root Only` to display all map levels and try to move the material list up/down it kind of hangs 3dsmax. processor stuck about 8%.
It seems like it`s trying to load/render maps/materials but getting stuck ?
Seems to happen every time.

oh forgot to mention it`s on `view list and icons`.

further investiagtion...
It`s a material that came from using the conversion script.
Instant hang when you try to look at map level with view Icons on.
It even hangs on a teapot in a new scene.
Attached a small max file with the dodgy converted material in case you want to see.
Obviously the material doesn`t need these settings but it`s what it had after running the script. Notice to DeadClown maybe ?

Ok, I'll have a look later, thanks for the file.
Normally there's nothing I should be able to do to hang max - so this is probably worth a look for keymaster too

Ok, I had a look at the scene but it works fine here. I had to save it down to 2014 since I don't use 2015 and the maps are missing. Maybe you can try to reupload a 2014 scene + the maps.
Do you know which map it is that causes the freeze?

[higgledyhiggles]

sorry, archived it this time..
i haven`t got 2014 but I can probably try it in 2012 at some point.
It seems to hang when rendering the icon preview of the CoronaColor although it could be the bitmap it did before that..
anyways attached..

Hmm, again working fine here. It could be that it's something related to 2015 which I cannot reproduce (cause I saved your file down to 2014). All I can say is that it's not related to the conversion, the map is fine the way it is.

So, it's keymasters turn ;)

[higgledyhiggles]

If I get a chance I`ll try saving out to 2012 and report.

update:
finally got a chance to test...
exported it down to 2012. It`s fine. 2015 = freeze.

[higgledyhiggles]

new update..
it just did the same thing without corona as renderer so it`s not that i guess.
stupid max.
apologies for the confusion.
