Re: [Maya-Python] getting the correct vray.exe from maya.env

Just a quick word on userSetup.py: it is called later than userSetup.mel and prohibits some things to function correctly which would work fine if loaded through userSetup.mel (an example would be dirmap). I don't know why Autodesk made it this way... but it's truly annoying. We also have V-Ray cen
