Corona to Vray

[crazy_homeless_guy]

Is there a one click or roughly one click solution to convert Corona scenes to Vray? I realize I will have to do some manual work but the default Vray scene converter errors on Corona Materials.

What kind of error do you get? Can you paste it here? Also, which Corona version, and which 3ds Max version?

Best regards,
Vlado

Max2016
Corona 1.5
Vray 3.40.02

It appears to be hanging on line 585. If I have time I will dig through the file and see if I can manually get rid of the Corona material with AO.

Ok, we already have a fixed script for this, you can email me to vlado@chaosgroup.com and I can send it to you.

Thanks. I sent you an email with “Message Board - Corona to Vray” in the subject line.

Vlado can you please post the script here ? Or it is distributed by mail only ?

[vlado]

Yep, I will post it a bit later today.

Best regards,

Hello, just for completeness here is the script with this problem fixed. It would also become available in the nightly builds as of tomorrow.

Hi Alexander,

Just tried the latest nightly with the converter
It seems to work but there are some things that are not converted, mainly the CoronaLayeredMtl and the CoronaMix

Here is a printscreen of a scene converted and listed in Zorb :

Only a fraction of the scene renders not black as the major once used are layered.

Look forward for a update to this converter as it will make it so easy to switch to vray from corona.

Thanks
Stan

New error in converter script, or at least new error for me.

I think this error is being caused by self illum and Illuminated Corona materials in my Corona scene that are set to not be visible to reflection. Though it might be something else causing this error.
