tomelcott1 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Evening folks, Iv encountered a problem with a certain type of work flow and cant for the life of me find an answer anywhere... I sometimes take a Sketchup 8 file, and import it into Max 2013. Everything was working fine, but recently when i import the .skp if i look at my scene materials (which i use to select by material) the sketchup materials dont display in my material editor? And if i use the V-Ray scene converter it doesnt convert my materials to V-Ray... Iv also noticed that when importing my .skp the materials all come in as Mental ray materials... they used to come in as Standard materials as far as i can remember??? Anyone experiencing similar problems? Help will be greatly appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludnid Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Strange. Never Experience that with SU 7 and Max 11 though i didnt stick with that approach either. I'm thinking you should look at the options again when importing sketchup files into max. Better still save as a lower version from sketchup say 6 or 7 and import again from max. If thats too much trouble you could always use the 3ds format for your export from sketchup. Its never failed me before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
