Dear Colleagues,

I am trying to start JsMaterialXView with my materials. I built the project with the command npm run build - the resulting files work fine with materials from the current repository, but when trying to open your mine material which has dependencies (files from folders alglib, stdlib, bxdf), JsMaterialXGenShader.js crashes with an error:

Error: Cycle detected!

The main material (file BrickWall_Red_Weathered.mtlx) I put in the folder resources/Materials/Examples/StandartSurface, and dependencies (alglib, bxdf, stdlib, textures) to the build root after building source/JsMaterialX/JsMaterialXView/dist.

You can find the archive with the material and the full log of the browser with the error in Google Drive.

When viewing materials in the OS-native version of viewer, there is no problem throws, everything works correctly. I would like to know, am I doing something wrong, or are materials with dependencies not supported at the moment?

Thanks for the help

Hi @testpassword (Artemy).
If you don't mind I will follow up on this in a new discussion thread (#1312).
