If you could reverse the script to make corona mats and lights standard it would be incredible!
I know i know i should be converting other people to use corona but some of the people i send models to are stubborn and when i render out lovely corona renders and then have to go through and retexture the scene with standard materials its just a little bit annoying.
Well, yes, I got this request several times - and it's not like I'm against converting things back to other engines - but the point is that it would mean I'd have to make everything two times, once TO Corona, and once BACK to something else. There are two reasons why I don't want to do that: A) I simply don't have the time to do both B) since I don't have the time to make both things good, one of it would probably suck. :-/ The amount of bugs would double and thus the workload for the support I usual give to the users of my scripts.
I think it's better to make 1 tool that can do 1 thing great than making several and each of them is doing a moderate job. Maybe I'll change my mind about this in the future, but I wouldn't count on it ;)
Hi, Will you write in the ability to script the bitmap convert like:
CoronaConverter.converterTools.ConvertToCoronaBitmap true
Ah, it's already in there, I just forgot to update the maxscript documentation ;) . This should be working:
CoronaConverter.converterTools.convertBitmapToCoronaBitmap()
Error occured in Bitmaptexture : Wood Vol.3 100_3_b:Bitmap
-- Runtime error: Error opening bitmap: wood-100_oak-white-american-1_b.png
Just doing what I was asked to.
Thanks for the report! If I'm not mistaken this one should already be fixed in version 1.13, you can download it from the usual place and try again :)
