hi, a question regarding imported Sketchup models

[rubynet]

I'm using MAX 2011+Vray 1.5 sp4, but when I import models from SU, the materials are converted to A&D materials, how can i convert (ont manually) the materials to Vray? the Quad-Menu converter dose not seem to work.

thanks

You could try the script "Material Converter" here: http://www.motivacg.com/descargas_en.php I've had good luck with it.

thank you very much chad, that worked like a charm.

I've been using this as well and, besides setting glossiness values to weird numbers below .5, it works great for me too. My question is why are there two vray options on the second drop-down menu??

My question is why are there two vray options on the second drop-down menu??

 

Oops, my fault. Vray renderer class name has changed many times, so I must do some "tricks" to know if vray is present (the drop-down only lists installed renderers). Probably some new version has changed (again) his class name and now it returns true in two tests. I'll fix it in next version.
