Title: CoronaMtl>Standard?
Post by: Jpjapers on 2017-06-12, 12:11:54
I appreciate that we all absolutely lover corona. However i myself work with realtime engines alot and when we create working files we use corona initially and then sometimes we need to put it into a RT package which can be a pain. For this we need all the materials to be max standard so usually i have to sit and manually convert materials which can sometimes be nearing 100+ mats. Has anyone created a script to automate this process yet and if not is there anyone out there who could write a snippet to copy the diffuse texture/colour from each corona mat and convert it into a standard mat then reapply the diffuse data?

Thanks
Jack

Hi. I know the problem, and I'm using a commercial script called UMC - Universal Material Converter. Here's a link to it: https://www.3dstudio.nl/webshop/product/1-universal-material-converter

Another thing that could be useful, is if Corona would render Standard materials as for example Radeon ProRender does - with ray traced reflection (specular level) and glossiness. But unfortunayely that's not the case ATM.

Hope it helps

Can confirm UMC does a great job of converting corona mats :)

I apologize for resuscitating an old topic. A few days ago I needed to convert a lot of files from Corona to Standard and I was looking for any information about what methods there are for this. I tried some free scripts, but I was not satisfied with the result. As a result, I came across this old topic, but the UMC listed here turned out to be very expensive for me, so I began to search further and finally found a tool that completely satisfied me, although it is also paid, but costs much less than UMC. Just want to tell other people who will be looking for such a tool to also consider a tool called V-RayMax Converter Pro, https://maxtools.3dzver.ru/vmcpro or https://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/v-raymax-converter-pro

Thanks for the info about this tool!
I was also looking for a long time for some tool to convert Corona to standard and found your info about V-RayMax Converter Pro.

By the way, this tool not only converts from corona to standard, but can also convert from vray to corona, and it does some things even better than the built-in corona converter.
for example, only with it I was able to convert the VrayUvwRandomizer map to CoronaMappingRandomizer.

I'm glad you found this info useful! This is truly the best converter today, I only use it now :)
