Hello!
Is there any way to make VraySoftbox map to work with Corona?
Tried to use it with CoronaBumpConverter, but it didn't help.

Hi,

Can you please tell us more about what you are trying to do with the VraySoftbox map? If you are trying to apply it to the Light to make them softer, you can also try to use a gradient with box mapping.

Hi
I've got the Vray scene with studio lighting where SoftBox map used in many lights. I want to convert it to Corona, but this map doesn't work here.

I understand, and it seems there is no straightforward way to use this map directly in Corona, as it is not currently supported. A potential workaround for you could be to use the "Render Map" option in SME and relink those bitmaps in the places where the VRaySoftBox map is used.

Thank you Avi! I followed your suggestion for this project and it is good enough for now.

And thank you for the feature request!
