[MAYA-122706] Testing MaterialX in Maya 2023

Discussed in #2244

^{Originally posted by daviddeacon April 4, 2022}

I've just been testing materialX in 2023, any USD files that I import into the stage that have mtlx shaders they are completely invisible in the Maya viewport. Wireframe is visible when they are selected.

The mtlx shaders seem to be valid as they work fine in Houdini's solaris.

I'm on macOS 12.2.

Is this expected behaviour currently?

Thanks,
David

We were able to reproduce this issue and have logged it internally.

I spotted this was meant to be fixed in 0.18.0 release based on the logs, but I've just been testing it Maya 2023 and the just released 0.18.0 build and it's still showing MaterialX materials as transparent ☹️

hi @daviddeacon I have been testing this on our side, and it seems to work for me as expected.

we are investigating this to try and reproduce the issue on our side.

@daviddeacon just a small update.

it seems this is related to the arm architecture chips. we were able to reproduce this internally as well now and we are investigating. :)
