Render Tree does not display shaders connected to Material node

Issue

When you open the render tree for a material, you see the Material node only.
All the shader nodes connected to the Material node have disappeared. However, in the explorer, you can see that the shaders are still connected to the Material.

Solution

You can use the XSI_FORCE_SHADER_RENESTING_DURING_LOAD environment variable to repair the scene:
  1. Set the XSI_FORCE_SHADER_RENESTING_DURING_LOAD environment variable.

    set XSI_FORCE_SHADER_RENESTING_DURING_LOAD=1

  2. Load the scene and then save it. The scene should now be fixed.
  3. Unset the environment variable, because it slows down scene loads.
