Vray.com Vismat materials

There are vismat materials available for free download at vray.com.
Unfortunately they don’t work with my vrfsu v1.00. Does anyone elseHad that problem?

Re: Vray.com Vismat materials

Chances are the materials were created a newer version than VfsU 1.0. Since older versions are not forward compatible they won’t be able to load the newer files.

Re: Vray.com Vismat materials

I thought so…
Is there a way to convert them without upgrading the original release ?

Re: Vray.com Vismat materials

Nope. There’s no way to tell exactly what version they’re from, and since the writing of the file from each version changes, its hard to accommodate that.

In the next version of VfSU, all of the the options, materials, and parameters will all be XML based. That means that materials will load between different versions and that additional features can be added to the material without breaking the format.
