material reseting

[mitviz]

sometimes i get a multisubobject material from someone or even just a single vray material with many nodes and maps but somewhere in the materials alot has been fiddled with and needs to be redone, is there away to reset the materals of a certain object and not lose the attached bitmaps?

V-Ray doesn't have a tool for that, there might be a script that would allow that but I haven't found one yet.

yeah would be much needed

Would vr scene converter work for your purpose? May need to save selected object to its own scene and then run vray scene converter?

There is also the vray mat converter but it seems more complex to use (for me) and The vray scene converter has helped me esp with xfrog materials.

Hope this may help.

no because it does not reset the entire material to default setting, instead it tries to keep some setting from the material before and that is sometimes a problem when its alot of materials
