Hello, I have a large Revit project that imported with all Autodesk Generic Materials, can these be converted to V-Ray? The scene converter does not seem to work with them. I usually create new shaders but this one has about 300+ materials and I only want to create new materials to the objects in v…

converting works for me. Are you using V-Rays convertor, or a 3rd party script? I use V-Ray’s and it converts Revit materials fine.

I’m using V-Rays convertor…I’ve seen Arch & Design and Architectural but these are “Autodesk Generic” and it doesn’t seem to work. [AutDesk Generic.jpg]

I usually use this …works quite well, but I am not sure there is any support or contacting the developer (at least for me.) However, I have not tried it yet with these “Generic” materials.

All the materials come in as Multi/Subs could that be it?

Bobby - Unless I’m mistaken, the vray scene converter only converts standard materials to Vray. It won’t convert Revit Autodesk materials. Can you expand on what you are doing there? I’m not talking about A&D materials BTW which are translated to vray at render time

http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/multyconvertor This scripts seems to convert the Generic Mtl to VrayMtl but unfortunately it doesn’t preserve any properties like attached maps, colors, etc.

but, for $75? You would think this is something that can just be done nativly.[quote=“ValeroStudio, username:ValeroStudio”] I’m using V-Rays convertor…I’ve seen Arch & D convertor…I’ve seen Arch & De [/quote]

I tried everything…only the $75 converter partially worked. It only converted about two third of the materials and error’d out, a real pain when you have 300 of those generic materials in a scene. I ended up doing most of them manually. [image] badger3d - FEEDBACK but, for $75? You would think t…

just necro’ing this thread. is it not about time that the vray converter was updated to support more material types? id say the ability to reliably convert every common material type would be a more important new feature than many. it still completely ignores autodesk generic materials, which…
