Need some help regarding materials

[zender_cg]

Hi! This is my first post here, and I'm tottaly new regarding rendering with V-Ray! :-[

Is there a website where I can download materials to use with 'VRay for Rhino'?!

I found this one > www.vray-materials.de < it has EXCELLENT materials, but I can't seem to get them on 'Vray for Rhino' On 'VRay for Rhino' when I import a material I can only use files with the 'asgvis' format. Am I doing something wrong, or I just don't have any chance to use the materials from that website?


Thank you very much for the help!

That web-site is specific to V-Ray for Max. Unfortunately V-Ray does not have an official material format so we are using our own - the vismat. We do have an exporter for Max that write out a vismat from a Max material - but if you don't have 3dsmax it isn't of much use to you.

We do have some materials in our Downloads section you can check out.

Hi! Thanks for the info...

Regarding to that exporter, I can use a computer with 3DSMax installed...

Is it easy to transform 3DSMax materials to Vismat? Does it take too long? And do they work perfectly?



Thank you!

Re: Need some help regarding materials

is there a way to get the new vismats to work for the old vray versions?

I think there's no way mr. senator, for example new vismats with a texfalloff or texdirt will not be applicable to older vray version.
