Unlike a very vocal group of people that have been incredibly against the Dev's push to the PhysMtl, I have developed an admiration for it and the Dev's persistence. There will always be friction against change but if you really delve into it, the PhysMtl has been a great addition and I love using it more than the LegacyMtl now.
However, that isn't to say further developments can't be made. Two items that I feel would really benefit the PhysicalMtl moving forward are changes to how the Corona Converter handles it. (Edit: Moved the other "wishes" into their own threads.)
For LegacyMtls that have ANYTHING plugged into the Reflection Map slot, the converter should default the IOR mode to Disney Specular. Many vendors (Evermotion, Maxtree, etc) still release models with Reflection maps and the convoluted IOR conversion and resulting nodes in SME doesn't produce the correct result compared to its Legacy counterpart.
Anyway, I hope this can gain enough traction to be implemented.
Thanks,
Tanner
