Hello, I'm also new to scripting.
I downloaded the .rar file, extracted it and installed the script in my 3ds max 9 root folder\scripts.
In this folder I can find "VRayMtlConverter_v25.mse" and "vmc_logos.mse".
Now I don't where to find the script in Max, or where to drag in into...hope that someone can help me.
If I drag it onto a toolbar I get this message"$scripts\3DZverTools\VRayMtlConverter\VRayMtlConverter_v25.mse"
