VRay Scene Convertor - not converting Arch & Design

[cgrant3d]

In the latest VRay 2.4.04 the scene convertor doesn't convert Arch & Design materials. I remember that was changed in vrayutils.ms a while back but even after removing the commented line below it still leaves them as Arch&Design. I must be missing something basic. Anyone?

-- Do not convert Arch&Design materials - V-Ray supports them directly
Arch___Design__mi: convertFrom_ArchAndDesign orig_mtl

Yeah I blindly trusted the Scene Conventor on a quick job just this week and it ended up going all sorts of wrong when the Arc & Design materials threw hot pixels all over the place.

Hi,

Arch & Design materials are not being converted by the "V-Ray scene convertor" script because they are directly supported by the rendered.

Arc & Design materials threw hot pixels all over the place.

Some issue still need to be fixed with them.

This works very well. I have used it many times converting files from Revit. http://www.3dstudio.nl/producten/max...rial-converter

@ValeroStudio - actually that's what I ended up doing. I use the Autodesk Material Converter typically for converting Revit materials but it worked in this case to convert Arch&Design to VRay as well... Bummer about that tool though is it breaks instanced materials so I had to go through with Instance Material by Name from Track Tools to fix that.

I still find it odd the VRay Scene Converter skips Arch & Design. I was poking around in the script itself and there is clearly functions for converting Arch & Design to VRay and I was able to utilize it one at a time. If I can get it working I'll post the instructions.

Does anyone know if this script is still relevant and works with max 2016 and vray 3.40.02?
