Corona - Vray Exchange - is it non-destructive?

[BenZ]

Hello,

currrently I am testing the exchange between Corona and Vray.
I had converted a VrayScene to Corona.
And I read I can convert a Corona Scene back to Vray.
Is that conversion non-destructive or does it change basicly the scene each time, that I want get the same results anymore?
(e.g. when I would do it several times)

Thanks

No converter is perfect. Corona and V-Ray doesn't share 100% matching features set and completely accurate conversion might be not even possible. It is wise to make a copy of your scene and then convert it to other renderer, leaving original as a backup. Converting the same scene back and forth several times, almost certainly will lead to unpredictable results.

How do you convert a Corona project to Vray?

Converting is easy in both directions:
Corona to Vray: Assign the vray renderer and in the viewport Rightbutton click > Vray Scene Converter. That's it.

But there is always a bit trouble with Area lights (or light planes) in both directions. They need to be set on "invisible for camera"

- When I convert my VrayScene to Corona, the area lights became white planes.
I did not understand how to handle right now...

Can you please show an example of the "area light" to plane conversion that you mention , i am afraid I don't understand entirely what is it that you are experiencing. Make sure the Vray light you are trying to convert is not a Vray Mesh light.
