Title: Does Scene Converter Work?
Post by: BigAl3D on 2022-10-26, 18:11:03
I have stayed away from the Scene Converter since it does such a poor job with Reflectance, and have just built new materials with those assets. I saw a new Kit Bash collection I was interested in, but they currently don't offer Corona setups. They do have C4D and VRay. Any chance Corona can covert Vray into anything useful? If yes, would I have to also own Vray, which seems silly?

An entire Kit Bash would probably have hundreds of materials that makes it daunting to convert to Corona.

You can convert most V-Ray materials, and in fact many will render without being converted anyway. In both cases you will need V-Ray installed, but this can just be a trial version of it (and it will continue to work even if the trial expires - it doesn't need a V-Ray license, just the Corona license, but it does need V-Ray code so that Corona can read and interpret the shaders etc.). Hope that helps!

Got it. Thanks.
