"Import Material" error message

hi,

I wanted to import vray material from modo V-ray scene. ( can we do that ? )
I have made a cube and apply an v-ray material.. , i have exported a .vrscene and try to import in houdini.

When i importini i see my material under the plugin tab , when i click import i have this error message.

Calling: vray_import_material D:/Untitled2.vrscene
VFH * Failed to create a node for plugin “UVWGenModo”! Please, report this!
VFH * Failed to create a node for plugin “TexModoLowHigh”! Please, report this!

Thank you for your help.
Have nice day.
Best regards
Daniel

Hi, I’ve logged the error, thanks for the feedback.

just a quick question:

i started i new project and we going to switch from Modo to Houdini,
you know the ETA on that or an workaround ?
just to know if it’s better to redo all matirial directely in houdini. or waint until it’s work again.

Have nice day,
Daniel

Hi,

When i used the node v-Ray Scene and import material, i have the error message but he load the shader,
but i seem i have some broken connexion.

I send you the schematic from modo and the result from houdini,

Hope it’s help.

Have nice day.
Daniel

Hi Georgy,

Hope you are well.
i still waiting from the support to try the fix the download of the nightlies (strange i have all except houdini )
i just wanted to know the ETA on this material issue. because i going next week to start to transfer my scene from modo to houdini.

Best Regards
Daniel

Hi @dpotuznik , , I’ve talked with the sales team and they said that there is some issue with your account. You should have access to stable nightlies but for some reason you can’t see them. The colleagues are working to fix this. About the “Import material” issue, it’s fixed but the fix is still not merged in the stable nightlies, should be added very soon.

Hi @chakarov ,

i downloded the last build it’s seem still not working ? the fix has been added to the last buid ?
i try to import the vray scene, it render correctly , but if i try to extract the material.it’s not complitely work.
maybe i doing something wrong , i exported the scene from modo. i going to do more test.
Thank for your help.
Best Regards
Daniel

Hello @dpotuznik , are doing everything right. The problem is that not all the modo plugins has their ui in houdini, that’s why they can be rendered correctly, but the material can’t be imported. I’ll add this in our todo list, and we will try to do it asap.

Hi @chakarov ,
OK i understand, i think i going to redo the material inside Houdini, it will be simpler et more acurate .
Thank you :slight_smile:

Hi @chakarov ,

Just one question, i have this project i need to render some part under modo the other under Houdini, (see picture) .
i have about 20 material, i going to do today. i want to keep them simple to be able to reproduce under houdini.

To you think is possible to you when i finish the material to send you the file and see whitch UI is missing and add only those for this project ?
i think i only going to use node like “color blend” to be able mix some texture
( i think i going to need that around end of next week.)

thank you very much for your help.
PS. i really like the way Chaos has to deal with update don’t need to wait month to fix some bug. it’s really Awsome. Good Job !!
Best Regards
Daniel

Yes you can send me the file and I can make the UI only for those that are most important for you at this moment, but still @bdancer need to implement them in VFH. So I can’t promise you that they will be available in next few days.

Hi @chakarov ,

Thank you, yes i understand completely, Thank you very much for trying :slight_smile:

Do you know the list UI already implemented, maybe i can deal only with them?

Hava a nice day,
Best Regards
Daniel

dpotuznik, have you tried using VRayScene geometry node? You could reference the whole vrscene with it: How to move V-Ray scenes between applications

dpotuznik, ok, got you, will try to implement missing nodes asap.

@bdancer ,

thank you very much … YOU ROCK !! :slight_smile:
i going to do the material tonight i try to send you the file until tomorrow.

do you know whitch node i need to avoid to be simpler for you ?
for most the time i will use 2 triplanar node (to mix them with a color blend) and an another color blend to control the value black / white for the glosiness for exemple.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards
Daniel

> do you know whitch node i need to avoid to be simpler for you ?

No worries, we have to make all of them to work…

Hi @bdancer ,
Hope you are well,
just to know if it’s some changes on the last build concerning this matter?
i going to use this option tomorrow and it’s just to know how far i can go crazy with the material :slight_smile: (i need to have closely the same render between modo and houdini)
because unofrtuately, i not have time to redo all the shader in houdini.
thank you for your help.
Best Regards
Daniel

dpotuznik, currently no progress in that area…
