FBX import and Materials not showing in Vray Material palette

[boundary]

Hi - I purchased a model in FBX format from one of the big model resellers - it comes into rhino with all the materials mapped to it and visible in the 'rendered' viewport option (yay!)

however, I notice those materials are not visible in the vray materials palette and therefore i cant do things like exclude from override or reassign materials etc - anyone know where they are kept and how i can get them into the material editor thing?

Hi boundary,

I think theses are just Rhino materials that you have to convert to vray materials. You can find this in the menu bar -> vray -> tools -> convert rhino materials.

I have had the same difficulty. Once I cured it by closing Vray and reopening it. I don't know why that worked.
