Convert Normal Maps
Version 1.7
Simple script that converts any NormalBump map to VRayNormalMap and vice versa.
This tool works on any object in the scene with assigned VRay material.

Doesn''t work with Multi/Subs
Does not work when the vray material with the normal map is within a multi/sub material.

I added macroscript by your request

works perfectly on max 2018 and vray 3.60
4 stars, cause it needs a category and a toolbar location for frequent use.
Update
Thank you very much!

3dsmax2017 vray 3.5 compatibility
Dear Branko,
I used youre script since some of the latest vray updates because of the normal bump issues. Since I work with max17 at work Id like to use that script, too. But when I run it, it does not change anything and there are no error messages. Could you please check for a compatibility to max17? That would be awesome.
Thanks a lot ! Time saver
Only small issue, it converts the Normal map into multiple Vraynormal maps if it's used multiple times.
lost bump maps
Hi, is it at all possible to carry over the bump map slot too? When I've been using it the script will only carry over the bitmap for the normal map slot and loose the bitmap from the bump slot.
many thanks though, this script has been a great help.
version 1.6
Fixed some bugs requested here
