You can put the .ms file anywhere you want. Just go to the "MAXScript" menu, choose "run script" and select the ms file. After that the script-gui should pop up and you just need to press the "start converting" button :-)

Sothis works for lights and everything made with vray? :)

No, just materials. But there is also a lights converter here in the forums.

Thanks :)
But I still have a issue: is the scene always so bright after conversion to corona?

Simply change the exposure multiplier in postproduction settings. You can do it interactively AFTER you render the image, i.e. no re-rendering needed

Thank you :)

Does it always take so long? I'm rendering interior scene 3700x2080pix, in vray 4h, in corona 8h.
i7, 16gb ram, graphic 2gb.

After how many rendering passes the scene is done?

there is nothing like "done", you can always decrease the error by rendering longer, just stop the rendering after it has acceptable, possibly non-visible, noise.

render times: it is individual, but most scenes can be tweaked to render much faster with relatively small changes of materials/lights. Are you using HD cache as the secondary solver?

No, how to do that?

choose it in main settings as secondary solver, you will get approximately 3-4* speedup

Thank you.
Primary solver should be coronas default?
Is it normal that in first part of rendering everythiung is bright green, but than everything back to normal?

keep primary to PT.

Yes, it is normal
