My scene goes completely white during work

Good afternoon,

My D5 and 3ds Max files are on the desktop. It started happening that the scene turns almost completely white, losing all applied materials, while the D5 blocks like plants and people still have texture. All white materials become custom materials with the slots all empty ( ao, specular, etc.

I updated my Live Sync to the latest version today, and D5 as well. I have been using D5 for 2 years and this has never happened before. When opening the file, it remains white, so I have to save every 2 minutes for fear that this will happen again. What could be happening?

Hi @NOG_the_DOG

From what you described, your scene is not actually losing data; it’s more likely that the sync is overwriting material slots incorrectly during communication.

Could you please confirm:

  1. Does this happen only when using Live Sync, or also with direct import?
  2. Does it happen in all scenes or only in this specific file?

In the meantime, you can try:

  • Moving your project files to a dedicated local folder
  • Reconnecting Live Sync (disconnect → restart both apps → reconnect)

Hi clov, yes it happens while using live sync. Im alteady using a dedicated folder to all files. Ive tried to close everything and sync again and it still all white. Its my first time using live sync, i was using the old.method before witout ant problems
