Title: Mass convert V-Ray materials to Corona?
Post by: Monkeybrother on 2016-10-31, 16:51:55

Hi. I have a lot of V-Ray materials saved in .mat files. Is there an easy way to batch convert them to Corona materials?

i suppose you could put them all on spheres in a scene and then run the converter script then save them out individually?

Well, it might be the only option, I just wanted to check if there's a script or something I've missed before manually converting a lot of materials.

Someone could write a script, that would load material libraries from selected folder, assign materials from those libraries to a bunch of boxes, run converter, put converted materials back to libraries and resave to files. One could make a fortune on such script :]

I might have a bash at that. For free of course :)

Ive actually got a working alpha of a script to do this now. Im just tidying it up and building an interface for it.
