Script for converting 3dsmax Physical Material to Vray (or something compatible with RT Cuda)?

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General

Hi,

Does anyone here know of a script that converts the new Physical Material in 3ds max 2018/2017 to anything compatible with V-ray RT GPU/Cuda? I have tried searching a little but haven’t come up with any results. The scene converter in max does not seem to have an option for this afaik know, and I am not good at scripting myself.

Hi,

This is something we should implement, but the converter will not provide good enough solution.

Best regards,
Alexander

Just checked in Max 2021. The VRay Scene Converter still doesn’t convert max Physical Materials at all. I am looking for a workaround now. I have a scene I need to migrate.

Sorry ,but have you tried it with Physical materials? as I could’t find any info about that in the linked page and the price is a bit too high to give it a try .
Thank you

Yes, VRay 5.0 can now convert them to Vray mtl Perfectly .
During the beta and I’ve sent few models to Lele and he did great job developing this conversation .
