So, I have learned to ignore these. Converting the scene doesn’t help. In Corona, there is a button, which brings you right to the problem texture. In the texture, there is a button to pick, which corrects it for you. Now, couldn’t V-Ray automate this process? If there is an error with the normal bump then couldn’t the button just get checked, if V-Ray were to have such a button?

That worked. I tried all those before, but not really worked. This one did. Thanks! I am not sure if it makes any difference, but at least I don’t have errors 🙂

Yes, I would like that too…for vray scene converter to include normal maps to vray normal maps.

Converting the scene works for me in V-Ray 3.5. Which V-Ray version are you using?

I am using 3.5 Beta. It works on some things. i think nested things are the issue.

Please note if the option ‘Convert selected nodes only’ is selected,  
scene converter works only over selected nodes from the scene.  
Could you try without it and report the result?

Try the vray scene converter again, but don’t check “selected nodes only”? You’ve got nothing selected, so with that option checked, the converter isn’t doing anything…

Tried and it took awhile, but it didn’t work. I am on another scene. The script posted did work.
