Import .mat materials from 3dsmax

[lcrivell]

While the collection of Vray materials for 3dsmax is absolutely huge, the one for Maya is still in its beginning phase.
Converting the 3dsmax VRay material to Maya is quite cumbersome and I would appreciate the possibility to have a .mat import function from 3dsmax VRay materials to Maya.
Thanks !

This would be excellent, I agree

The .mat format is closed (it is in fact a .max file). There used to be an SDK on the ADN for reading .max files, but it was taken down ages ago. So for the moment going through .vrscene files might help somewhat, but it's not very reliable.

Best regards,
