Title: Corona converter (multiple versions) problem converting from Vray
Post by: pterodyne on 2017-03-23, 23:41:54

Ive purchased a few car models from turbosquid that are vray formatted 3dsmax models.WHen I run the material converter on them, it doesn't seem to do anything at all.  materials, lights all stay as VRAY, and the material editor shows the materials as missing materials (I don't own vray).

If I take something else like a sketchup file and import that and run the converter it works great.

Forgot, latest corona/max 2017.  Tried the latest converter available as well.

Hi. The converter can only convert VRay materials if you have VRay installed. It doesn't have to be a payed version, the free demo will do, even after it has expired.

So download the VRay demo, install it, and run the converter again.

Hope it helps
