from new max 2009 materials to vray...

[tom schuelke]

Well ,

I know vlado has supposed somewhere, he could make a script, to transform easyly max new pro-materials to vray materials...

Well the workflow of revit to max seems good for many situations, expect of the materials and mental ray.

so a script that would transfer pro materials, maybe also the whole scenesetup to a vray conform setup would be a real nice thing...

Yep, like I said, this is coming.

Vlado, you planning to :
1) covert the material to support vray?
2) write maxscript to convert the material
3) create custom materials like the new ones?

also do you plan to include a sample in the sdk for a converted material?

[vlado]

Most likely, V-Ray will internally convert the materials to V-Ray materials and render them directly, without the need to modify the scene. As such, there will be no need for extra conversion.

good news, so this means that this feature will be part of the SP2 (...20 april)?

[Fekta.studio]

well cheers then nice news

No, I don't think we will manage it for SP2... there are 14 or so ProMaterials, so that will take a while to implement and test all of them. However, once this is done, we will post the update immediately.

Will the conversion also convert lights (sun/sky) and perhaps cameras ?

If you want it, it can be done

Yes, Please!

[Da_elf]

maybe the converter can have a check box look to it to ask you what you want converted

[MasterBercon]

I understand that you wouldn't "convert" anything, internally converting them would mean that they just work properly with VRay, no visible conversion needed.

By the way.. the convert to vray scene script is crashing very often..

are the pro materials really that great? I have seen the demo...nothing special to me...Waste of time imo to implement them. I understand that it has to be done, because majority will ask for it, but still.
