Using VraySceneConverter in a Batch Operation

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General
1

I’d like to convert all of the Xfrog .max tree models I own from standard materials to Vray materials. I really don’t want to open every single file and convert them manually, so I’m hoping there’s a script out there that will open all the .max files in a given directory, convert the materials and then re-save the files. If I was a maxscript genius, I’m sure it’d be pretty straightforward, but I’m not :smile: Does a script like this exist?

Hi,

I made a batch script based on our vrayutils.ms - V-Ray Scene convert function.
Just run it in 3ds Max (drag and drop the .ms file in Max UI) and choose the folder that contains all max scene files.

All files will be re-saved very quickly.

Thank you for your assistance! I’ve tried the script and it doesn’t appear to be working. Running the script asks for a folder and then appears to be doing something. However, the files are unchanged after completion. Any thoughts? Can this script convert Standard materials inside Multi-sub materials?

The script from my previous post doesn’t work with Multi/sub materials, but this one should do that:

Thank you! That works great :slight_smile:

Glad to hear that.
