Hi Martin,

you know I love your devotion. The script I mention is just  a suggestion to whom is interrested. Nothing more nothing less.
Keep up the good work!! Questions about the generic color, I am sure Joep (EUE) can give you a hint.

cheers

Johan

No worries Johan, I didn't mean to be angry or offended or something (even though the grumpy cat picture may have given a different impression ;-) ). I absolutely think that the script you suggested is a better solution for people who need Autodesk materials converted regularly!

About asking Joep: I don't really know what the problem is right now, so I'll just wait for a scene from headoff ;)

Would you mind making me a simple scene with those 4 materials? I don't get any errors here with the default Ceramic/WallPaint/Metal shaders =/

Those Autodesk materials are slowly driving me CRAZY! I've made more blind fixing attempts for those suckers than for all other materials combined O_o


Of course
I attached it to post

 Hi headoff, hi Martin, I downloaded that buggy material scene too (honestly I'm not sure why) - and it gives me the same error yet in my case those materials are quite strange by themselves - http://clip2net.com/s/3giNQ0i - and there are no wonder they don't convert well -  maybe in my case it is something max 2016 related, but I've never seen anything like that message before so decided to post just in case )

Hmmm... indeed, I'm having the exact same thing as you antanas. Well, that explains why the conversion fails. I also saved the file down to 2014 to make sure it's not simply a missing dll in 2016 or something but it's giving an identical message.

headoff: It seems to be a partly converted scene - so it's probably the material after a failed attempt to convert to generic. Could you upload the materials before conversion?

antanas: Offtopic: What is that windows theme you're using? Looks good! :)

This one http://fcoar.neiio.ca/ or http://www.deviantart.com/art/FCOAR-7-447452336 or more specific it's dark variation with some minor tweaks now I cannot recall which tweaks in particular as I've installed that quite a while ago - two things I do remember clearly ) is that I've used Jasmin's 3D color changer (found on fcoar website too) to colour windows classic shell for it to match their aero one, which means 3ds max's (and not only it's) aero unskinnable windows colours etc. and some minor windows font colour tweaking too as their default tended to be a little too dark even for my tastes )
 Indeed it's one of the most beautiful and less annoying (even in the long run) windows skins out there - just be sure to disable windows blur (using small utility link to which is provided in it's readme file or by some other method) but leave window shadow option on - if not done it can cause some weird artefacts instead of looking awesome - damn Microsoft for making this process so cumbersome )))

edit: by unskinneable I've meant windows\apps like those http://clip2net.com/s/3gj5kB0 - this way even archicad or sketchup (and many more alike) do not annoy me\burn my eyes as much as before )

Hi Martin
It is a strange but I can't get this bug again with the same materials.
I'll try to get bug once again)

Help! After installing 6.1 alpha stopped working converter. Where can I download a later version of the crown converter with support for alpha 6.1.

[note: Starting with Corona A6, this script is bundled and installed with the main Corona plugin into the 3dsmax scripts directory]

Look at your max script folder, there should be "CoronaConverter_v0.xx.ms"

Thanks a lot antanas. I know windows themes are often "problematic". I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't make a dark theme by themselves - the win 7/8 color settings are a joke.

It is a strange but I can't get this bug again with the same materials.

No problem, now I'm really curious what could cause that kind of problem ;)

Alpha what?

Anyways... if you don't use the latest builds use the converter that is shipping with the Corona installer - that one is made for the version you are using (new ones will not work). You can find it in the "scripts" folder in your 3ds max directory.
