Autodesk Bitmap to Standard 3ds max bitmap?

[snivlem]

Hi,

Sorry if this is obvious but I use Maya day to day. When I translate Revit scenes into 3DS Max, there is this node called "Autodesk Bitmap" that connects to the VRayMtls.
VRay can't read this so everything just renders grey.

Is there a script or tool where I could convert this "autodesk bitmap" node into a standard bitmap node so that V-Ray can render it? THanks.

I have no idea if it would work but have you tried to just right click and use the v-ray scene converter?

Sadly it does not.

Am I the only one in the world importing Revit to 3DS Max (using the native importer)?

Surely there is a way to do this.

Can you attach a scene that has the Autodesk Bitmap texture? We will add code to convert it.

Thanks Vlado, see attached.

Thanks for the file; will see what can be done about converting this to a supported texture.

Thanks Vlado. It's this kind of A+ customer support from you guys that is so much appreciated.

Btw in 3ds Max 2017 and later there is a built-in scene converter that can convert the Autodesk Bitmap to a regular Bitmap.
