Hi,
I don’t know if I am being stupid here but I have read all threads in the forum discussing a vismat converter plug-in for 3DS max, I was just what was the latest on this? As I can’t seem to find anywhere to download it from.
This would be really useful for me!
I searched the site, but couldn’t find anything.
Really sorry if the answer is obvious!

Thankyou.
Apologies for my noobness - I will get the hang of this eventually.
Re: .mat converter…
No need for apologies…you’re not the first and you won’t be the last so don’t worry about it… everyones got to start from somewhere ;D
Re: .mat converter…
Is there a VISMAT Converter without 3dmax installed ?
I mean the application run alone ?
Dorry for my bad English.
Re: .mat converter…
No, the vismat converter is not available as a standalone or without Max. Read the following post for a little bit more information.
Re: .mat converter…
Thank for that information 
Re: .mat converter…
is it possible to have an external converter? i’m wondering… mayby with material studio?
Re: .mat converter…
That is not currently possible with the .mat materials. The reason is because that is 3dsMax’s format, which they won’t release the details about. Therefore we can’t read the information from format because there is nothing that tells us what we are looking at. I highly doubt Autodesk would change this approach, so we’re just waiting for the Chaos Group to introduce their own vray format.
