Can't select texture file with Ai Standard Surface

[toervanholstein]

Hey there, I've got this problem as i try to select the option to import a texture file throught the color in the Ai Standard Surface Maya deselects my model and it won't let me use that option for some reason. all the other texture options seem to be workling though.

anybody else had this problem?

What, when you click this it deselects objects in the scene?

It should just pop up the Create Render Node dialog.

the first one is before I click on File in the create render node menu and the second picture is after. Maya doesn't open a menu where i can assign a file.

Does this happen with new Maya Prefs?

That sadly doesn't seem to change anything. i've tried it on multiple pojects as well. i've also tried dragging my texture files straing in to the hypershader to make nodes. Maya chrashes on me if i try it that way.

That sounds bad. I would uninstall any other plugins to see if that helps. If that doesn't work you could try re-installing Maya.
