Autodesk Material Converter - obsolete

The Autodesk Material Converter is a commercial script for all 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design users starting from release 2011 and up who need optimized materials for mental ray, V-Ray or VR applications. With one click all Autodesk Material Library materials are converted into Arch & Design or V-Ray materials. Conversion to Standard materials takes only two clicks

The major adavantage will be an increase in rendering speed (on average 35%) plus it will give you the flexibility you need for your material fine tuning. and of course you don't want to manually convert materials which are coming in from AutoCAD, Revit and Inventor into 3ds Max (Design)

Most VR applications need Standard materials to work with. The conversion to Standard works from Arch & Design or Vray materials

In addition to material conversion the script checks if there are double materials inside the scene. If they are there, they will be changed into instances, keeping the number of materials as low as can be.

New features in v2.5!

  • conversion from Arch&Design to V-Ray and back...it's there!
  • conversion of all Autodesk maps
  • conversion of some V-Ray specific maps or MentalRay specific maps

Convert any Camera to Vray Physical Camera

This is a script to convert any existing camera in your scene to a Vray Physical Camera that matches its position, orientation and FOV. Works with Max Standard and Physical, and doesn't matter if they are Free or Target cameras. Just make sure the camera you want to convert is the active view when you run the script.

this script converts colors from one gamma space to another. it affects color picker fields in material editor.

 

V-Ray to Standard Converter (Materials & HDRI Maps)

V-Ray to Standard Converter is a lightweight scene-migration script that strips V-Ray dependencies out of a 3ds Max file in a single pass. It scans the scene for every VRayHDRI map and VRayMtl material, then replaces them with their native 3ds Max equivalents — BitmapTexture and Standard material — while preserving names, file paths, and the most common texture slot assignments.

V-RayMax Converter PRO is the best tool for convert 3d scene (materials, maps, lights, cameras, proxies, modifiers, helpers, render elements, etc.) from other render engines to V-Ray and from V-Ray to Corona Renderer, and also for converting V-Ray and Corona materials to Standard/Physical/PBR/OpenPBR materials and to glTF Material.

Current version: 4.0062

Supported for conversion:

To V-Ray from:
  • Standard (Default Scanline)
  • Corona Render
  • FStorm Render
  • Octane Renderer
  • finalRender
  • Arnold
  • Brazil_Advanced (RS v 1.2) material
  • NVIDIA iray (unofficial) material.
From V-Ray to:
  • Standard / Physical / PBR / OpenPBR materials
  • Corona Renderer
  • glTF Material (3ds Max 2023 or later)
From Corona to:
  • Standard / Physical / PBR / OpenPBR materials
  • glTF Material (3ds Max 2023 or later)
Сonversion scope:

Full list of supported conversions.

Main features:

  • Converts materials, maps, lights, cameras, modifiers, helpers and GI environment from other render engines to V-Ray and from V-Ray to Corona
  • Converts clouds from CoronaSky to VRaySun and vice versa.
  • Converts Night Sky system (Moon, Stars & Milky Way) from V-Ray to Corona and vice versa
  • Converts Render Elements to V-Ray (currently supported Scanline RE, Corona RE, FStorm RE, Octane RE) and from V-Ray to Corona
  • Converts V-Ray and Corona materials to Standard (Default Scanline) materials
  • Converts VRayMtl and CoronaPhysicalMtl materials to Physical Material and OpenPBR Material
  • Converts V-Ray and Corona materials to glTF Material (which is necessary for exporting to the .glb for corresponding 3d software: Blender, Gestaltor, Babylon.JS etc).
  • Converts proxies (currently supported from Corona, FStorm, Octane) to V-Ray Proxy (static and animated)
  • Converts V-Ray Proxy to Corona Proxy (static and animated)
  • Converts standard Bitmaps to VRayBitmap and vice versa
  • Converts standard Bitmaps to CoronaBitmap and vice versa
  • Converts 3ds Max Physical cameras to V-Ray Physical cameras and vice versa
  • Automatic configure ACEScg workflow in V-Ray
  • Batch processing for multiple 3dsMax Scene (*.max) or 3dsMax Material Library (*.mat) files
  • Programmatically interact with most converter functions using built-in maxscript methods (API), which allows you to use the converter without UI and in combination with other 3rd-party scripts.
  • ...and more additional tools for fixing and adjusting the scene.

Wide Ratio Camera Tool

The Wide Ratio Camera Tool creates a camera rig that overrides the project's image output ratio.

Example :

- The final output image is for tv (HDTV 1280x720) : ratio 1.77.
- We want to display some 2.35 ratio for a "movie effect".

It works with 3dsmax's default cameras (free and target), and VrayPhysicalCameras.
The ratio is handled by a Custom Attribute in the created "c" helper.
The masks are properly wired : the ratio and the camera's focal length can be animated.
