Hi everyone,
I’m working on a Ruby script for SketchUp that aims to create a Generic Material in the V-Ray Asset Editor. I’ve managed to get the script to create the material, but it seems to be missing the VRay Mtl layer. Currently, only the Binding layer is present, as shown in the attached screenshot. Could anyone advise on how to modify the script to ensure that both the Binding layer and the VRay Mtl layer are included when the material is created?
Here’s the script I’ve come up with:
def self.create_vray_material(material_name)
# Initialize the V-Ray context
context = VRay::Context.active
model = context.model
scene = context.scene
renderer = context.renderer
# Ensure V-Ray for SketchUp is present
unless scene && renderer
puts "V-Ray for SketchUp is not detected!"
return
end
# Define my_material_plugin here so it's accessible throughout the method
my_material_plugin = nil
# Start a scene change transaction
scene.change do
# Create a new V-Ray material as a plugin in the scene
material_plugin_path = "/#{material_name}"
my_material_plugin = scene.create(:MtlSingleBRDF, material_plugin_path)
end
if my_material_plugin
puts "V-Ray material '#{material_name}' created successfully."
else
puts "Failed to create V-Ray material '#{material_name}'."
end
end
