Need help converting VRay materials to Cycles

V-Ray V-Ray Common Tutorials, Tips & Tricks

Hi guys,

I need to convert all the materials in a scene from VRay to Cycles materials. I know that in the scene tab there is a converter, but I tried using it and all I get in Cycles is a Diffuse BRDF with the materials viewport color, not even the actual material color. Can someone please point me out to a link of a tutorial or explain the proper steps I need to follow to convert all the materials from VRay to Cycles with all the correct properties (roughness, reflection, etc.). I don’t know for sure if I am just supposed to click the convert to nodes button in the converter or if I need to do more things for it to work.

Thanks!

Hello Txeroki

I’m afraid there isn’t out of the box solution to this so chances are such tutorial doesn’t exists.
It might be a good idea to contact Blender developers and ask them if it’s possible to update the converter to convert V-Ray to Cycles materials.

Best regards,
Svet
