Hi everyone. How can I convert materials from 7 version CoronaPhysicalMtl to 6 version in CoronaMtl?

This is not supported. Can you explain why exactly you would need a feature like this?

This is necessary for models that will be used by people with an old version Corona Renderer

I am actively creating models for 3d-artists, but with the advent of new materials, I will most likely stay on version 6

There is no forward compatibility in Corona at all, so you should never create assets in a newer version and open them with an older version. This is never going to work, because the old version would need to know in advance what features will existing the newer version.
