Title: Is there a material converter VRay -> Corona for the C4D version?
Post by: SharpEars on 2016-12-30, 17:14:17
I am wondering if there is a script or some other type of converter that allows for the conversion of VRay materials to Corona materials (from for example .mat files), but for C4D rather than 3dsmax? Or, perhaps let me ask the question this way: How are you converting/using VRay materials with Corona in C4D?

usually i go the long way by creating a new corona material and copy/pasting every shader in the correct slot.. on bump/reflection/refraction you usually have to do quite some adjustments but at least it is working in the end..

I've considered this onerous, non-exact, and error prone process and was hoping that there was some automated way.

Btw, how good is Corona with matching native C4D materials without any sort of conversion or adjustments?

i already tried this with a lot of different mats and somehow most of them dont work correctly when converting automatical for me at least ..
