Hello everybody,
I'm currently facing an issue with my 2021 3dsmax and vray 5. whenever I try to make a new material and I add a vray bitmap and all then I apply this material to any polygon it only appears as a solid color and not the texture I added (wood, brick ..etc) I tried applying a uvw map and it didn't change anything. can anyone help me?
Hard to say as the things we need to see are being blocked in your screenshot. Usually it's either you don't have the "Show Shaded Material in the Viewport" option toggled in the Material Editor or you might have the Viewport set to "Performance" mode.
That being said, s ince the solid colour you see is similar to the texture I think what is happening is that the texture is there and visible but it is either sized so big or tiled so small that it ends up looking like a solid colour.
I would go to the bitmap settings of that material and see if "Real-World Map Size" is enabled. If yes, then tweak the texture size to something more appropriate or disable that function and adjust the UV tiling settings.
