This is also posted in the ‘wishlist’ section but,
Thanks joeb - just a suggestion but we should try to stick to a naming system??? I’ve done this before and it can get into a mess very quickly!!!
As a starter, and building on the standard ones, how about:
material colour_material finish.vismat
eg
In plastics
grey_dark_vgloss
grey_midblue_lightspark
grey_midblue_heavyspark
yellow_bright_matt
In metals
aluminium_greydark_lightspark
aluminium_bluehint_highgloss
etc
Just a thought - what do people think???
For those who don’t know (and speaking very basicly) a ‘spark finish’ is a simple uniform texture found on most plastic components

Hi joeb - I’ve tried to upload but without success - any chance you could tell us how to upload??
Cheers

Yeah - it seems our ftp system doesn’t allow anonymous write access to our pub folder…strange…ok we’ll have to let people upload somewhere else. I’ll switch some stuff around
See the changes in my original post for info on the changes
Corey has made a nice interface to wrap the uploading / downloading of materials and options

hej
I?m not shure that worked for me…
I have just uploaded a vismat material there, but I don?t think the textures are missing. Do I have to create a zip file with my material and all textures and bumps and upload this?

Yes, a zip file is best.
Best regards,
Corey

any news? what about new materials downloading??
Hi all,
has anyone had success with converting / importing / or using the ample resources (materials) available to the 3d Studio Max community?
in particular there is a great wealth of sharing, and some kick ass materials, available (to max users) on http://www.vray-materials.de/
obviously, if you had Max, you could load up these materials and then hand copy the presets into a new material you created inside vray for rhino.
however, …there must be a simpler way! or way to translate the info directly into vray/rhino. perhaps we need a plugin made, or import tool.
add it to the wish list.
or, …am I missing something?
and it can be done?
cheers,
Paul

We are working on a converter - however, it has been on the backburner a bit lately. We’ll let everyone know as soon as its available.

Hi Joe,
thanks for your quick response.
any chance you put a date to when this may happen?
cheers,

I would hope by the end of February we’ll have a V-Ray for 3dsmax → vismat converter in one shape or another.
Re: Share your favorite materials or option setups
That is awesome news! 
As someone just starting out with vray, I know how infuriating it can be trying to nut out how to make your own version of a material when there are .mat versions available all over the place.
Looking forward to this tool.
Re: Share your favorite materials or option setups
hi there,
I also visited http://www.vray-materials.de/ and I wondered if one could use this great collection of materials for V-Ray for Rhino too. Apparently not, so I like the idea of setting up a converter very much and I am looking forward to get this tool.
Sharing our own created materials would be great but I think I have to get more in use with the material-editor before I´ll be able to share some mats.
cheers,

Re: Share your favorite materials or option setups
I am very very excited to have the converter implemented to download and analyse existing shader. End of February, sweet, it’s in few days… ;D
Re: Share your favorite materials or option setups
anyone else having problems for the two concrete materials on the downloads part of this site?
the bump map and the diffuse map are missing.
Re: Share your favorite materials or option setups
You’re right- they should be included in the zip.
Re: Share your favorite materials or option setups
Guys,
How is the material converter going. I am really hanging out for it.
Cheers
