Max 2024 Open Preview Window not update automatically

[rasyidxtreme1]

Hi, 

Somehow 3Ds Max 2024 'Follow Current Selection' in Open Preview Window slate material editor is not update properly (not work the same as previous version of the 3Ds Max), I'm using VRay for the material. For instance case after unlink node that are linked to material node, the preview window somehow didn't keep with the Follow Current Selection and turn back to default selection. Please kindly see the attachment below for clear information. Thanks.

Hi,

It appears that there has been a whole host of problems with the 2024 SME.
If the problem you are experiencing was not fixed with the 2024.1 update please submit product feedback under the Menu Item [Help]-> [Feedback]-> [Report a problem...]

Hopefully with enough customer momentum this might be fixed in 2024.2

Regards,

It appears that there is an issue with the "Follow Current Selection" feature in the Open Preview Window of the Slate Material Editor in 3ds Max 2024 when using VRay for materials. Specifically, after unlinking nodes that are connected to the material node, the preview window does not maintain the "Follow Current Selection" setting and reverts back to the default selection.

To better understand the problem and provide clearer information, could you please attach the relevant file or screenshot that demonstrates the issue you are facing? This will help in diagnosing the problem and providing appropriate solutions or workarounds. Thank you.

@pg.macri We haven't seen any problems with the SME thumbnail renderings. Are you sure you have them enabled? It's easy to miss that teapot icon at the bottom left of the SME UI...
