Vray Scene Converter ?

[bernhard]

Hello friends !

We work with Revit and 3dsmax, and we convert the materials with the Vray Scene Converter option.

Today we could find out, that all our architectural materials, which are converted to vray materials, do have a glossy value 0.75 and in the reflection channel, we have 255, that means pure white.

For a quick preview render, we have to change all the materials by hand again, and decerase the reflection and set the glossy value to 1.


We tried to make different materials in Revit, but it didn't take effect after converting to vray materials. We do have a lot of materials for the architecural buildings, and it would be great, if we could avoid that process.

My question:
Is there any posiibility to get the materials converted we would like to have ? Without any glossy value and without any reflection ?

Thank you so much,
Bernhard

If you know a little scripting you can modify ...\scripts\startup\vrayutils.ms

or if not and you are brave... open the above file, look for fn convertFrom_Architectural

then find:

	-- specular component
	r.reflection=(color 255 255 255)

change to:

 r.reflection=(color 55 55 55)

or what color you want

if you want to turn of reflections add

r.option_traceReflection=false

Okay, I am not really a good code hacker, but hank you so much, I think that helps, and I can do that.
