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.
