problem with converting materials

[ctanikaya]

Hi all,

perhaps this topic about converting .mat to .vismat has been discussed alot. however, im still not successful converting the files.

what i did was, i downloaded vray 1.50.17 (demo file, since if i wanted to use the 1.50 one, the keymaker is corrupted by virus).

then i have my own 3dsmax 2008.

when i applied my material to an object in 3dsmax, there are several materials are not working (especially the textured one such as stone, etc). however the plain colours are working.

when i wanted to convert those plain colours to .vismat, it says that "sorry, we don't support the diffuse map you chose for (the file), please use a vRayColor or Bitmap instead."

thank you in advance, i hope you guys can help me.

Re: problem with converting materials

Pretty much the only thing we support beyond the general V-Ray material settings is bitmaps. Any procedural textures or other ones that you may have applied won't be converted because there is no counter part in V-Ray for Rhino.
