Why do I need the Autodesk Material Library? This can occasionally cause issues with the display of textures and materials for 3D objects that you import to or export from Autodesk InfraWorks. (Installing locally isn't a solution as principally it's ridiculous to waste harddrive space on every rendernode for this.By default, the Autodesk Material Library is not installed when you install Autodesk InfraWorks.
Obviously we are not going to start doing that as it's too easy to forget and have a textureless render come out of the rendernodes.Īnyone from chaos that knows a solution or where we need to look? Seems like a pretty basic issue to solve, but somehow we can no longer get it to work. The only way for the rendernode to see the textures is to manually go into the max asset tracking and set the folder to the shared folder path. local registry edit on the rendernodes doesn't work either even though the adress is exactly the same as on the workstation.Įverything else works fine on the rendernodes (as in all other textures, proxies, etc). Using the library download trick doesn't work either (whether as user with admin rights or run as administrator). Nodes are unlicensed trial versions so we don't open max on them. Setting project folder on WS doesn't work (whether it's as the shared drive folder Z: or the network address). For some reason, when moving to max 2021 with all the updated software it just will not recognise the network link on the rendernodes. So I just did step 2 and that also fixed the path and button. (mirrored server so everything has the same network location) But because I hadn't installed the library at all there wasn't a registrypath to edit. The rendernodes worked correctly after this.ĭid the same for my home WS, the button hadn't worked at all as I didn't download the library during installation and had just copied it over from the network location at the office. The program recognizes that the library is already there and, I assume, sets up the rendernode paths to this location. In my case I used the network location where I had already saved it. If you start it up you are given the option to choose a target directory for the library download. Then for the rendernodes I found the the program "Vray Material Library downloader" in the windows vray menu. So I was about to post a frustrated message, however.Ĭhanging the registration key to the network location on my WS fixed the button. I had moved the library from the initial local user folder to a network location. And the library button was no longer working on my WS. Initially the rendernodes weren't rendering a vray material library. Was running into this today whilst installing the latest hotfix.
