C4D Vray 5 Asset Browser / Transfer Render Settings from 3.7 / Load Materials

[acidnoid]

Hi,

maybe it is too early... but I can not find the asset browser with materials.

Can I easily transfer my render settings to VRay 5.0, is all transferred when I open a 3.7 scene and save it as VRay 5 Scene? I miss the good old VRayforC4D roll-out menu...

And last but not least - how do I, load materials ... somehow the X.mat is not recognized.

Thank you.

Hello acidnoid ,

maybe it is too early... but I can not find the asset browser with materials.

Can you please elaborate which asset browser are you referring to?

What settings would you like to transfer from V-Ray 3.7 to V-Ray 5? Keep in mind that for the best experience we recommend the default render settings which come with V-Ray 5 as they are well optimized for quality and render times. Additionally, please clarify which rollout menu are you referring to?

And last but not least - how do I, load materials ... somehow the X.mat is not recognized.

Could you please elaborate on this issue? Bear in mind that V-Ray 5 has been completely rewritten from scratch and some of the materials work differently.

Ok, I see .. actually I am looking for the material asset browser/library -> do I need to install the Material Library? Seems like this happens not automatically.
However, it says, that I need tom open the Assetbrowser to download them (3dMax Manual - where is this option in C4D?), or where can I download materials and how do I import them?

We have not yet implemented a material library (like the one in V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max) in V-Ray 5 for Cinema4D. We plan to add a material library in future versions.

oh ok, I see, that's is though .. and it is also not possible to import materials from somewhere? / only option to convert them or build all new? I have scenes with plenty of materials, would take me weeks to rebuild them ...

You could use old materials, created with V-Ray 3.7 using the scene converter which comes with V-Ray 5. Keep in mind that this converter is partial and has some known issues and limitations. You can find more about it here.

With the official release of V-Ray 5 for Cinema4D we also included the V-Ray scanned material which gives you access to our VRscans material library. You can find more information about it here.

I have reported this to our development team and I will keep you updated when we have more information.
