Title: Reverse Material Convertion
Post by: ozankar on 2024-05-12, 20:06:43
It would be great to convert Corona materials to Cinema 4D materials. Since the other 3D programs don't recognize Corona materials while exporting.

True - but I don't think this would fall under Coronas remit TBH.
It's the sort of thing that someone writes a script for and releases for €5 on gumroad. It may well already exist in that format or (a personal script written by an active user that they would share out of pure kindness:) )

What do you need in this scenario?

Is the material and the corresponding Texture Tags enough for export or do you also need the textures inside the material, with proper conversion of the material channels?

For me first choice is minimal requirement. The second would be optimal.

There is no need for a one-to-one conversion. It would be enough that can be sent to an employer. Viewing intent is priority.

I have something here, it does the bare minimum, it's hacky, but it works.
