How compatibility works

Choose the 3ds Max version you use. For example, selecting 2020 puts direct matches for 2020 first, followed by listings that say a supported version or newer.

Scripts that only mention an older version can still appear as “2020 unconfirmed.” Listings that rule out 2020 are excluded. Use “Show scripts with unconfirmed compatibility” to also see listings without a clear match.

Community reports show what worked for members on a specific release. They’re separate from the listing’s compatibility claims and don’t change the filter.

Description

A simple script to remove the raytrace maps (Actually - replace them with empty bitmaps) from the scene's material library. This is for people using Vray/Mental ray as raytrace maps may (and will) slow down rendering times considerably

Additional Info

Usage: to use just click Maxscript / Run Script and select this file.

Thanks a lot!

A spent hours today trying to fix my scene - I kept getting - error: UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: Irradiance map thread Last marker is at ./srs/globillummap.cpp, line 1692: GlobalIllumMap::buildLightMap() {1} -

Changed all materials through the vray scene converter but the raytrace map which was causing the problem was still there (although nowhere to be found in the scene materials). I found no good advice on the internet and finally I got to this page. What a life saver! Thank you!

A working script

Finally managed to create a short script to remove the RAYTRACE maps from your scene. Actually it is replacing the raytrace with an empty bitmap map.
Could not find a null map so the best solution I could find was this.
