Converting to Standard Material
Hi,
I'm trying to export objects from a max file so I can import them with the materials into Blender. How do I convert the materials to standard materials? I've included an example file.
Thanks,

Hi,
It's been a while since I used a material converter script [I use Corona render and it has a very easy conversion routine]... so I'm not sure how good this one is... but you could always give it a go:

I actually already tried to get that plugin to work. But you did give me a good idea. I think I'll download the demo of Corona to convert the materials

Just to make sure you realise, The Corona converion will only convert to Corona Materials. And then you will be truely stuck, trying to convert Corona to Standard.
In my opinion you'd be better off going down the list and testing scripts out [in a 'Save As' version of your scene, keep the original safe].

Would this example be typical of something you want to convert? I ask because this one seems to have Vray materials, which I'm not sure would convert cleanly to standard materials.

Hmm you might have some luck finding a script like the ones @darawork posted then

Hi. There is a commercial script called UMC, that converts both VRay, Corona, mr and AutodeskMaterials [+ more] to standard materials [scan line]. I use it myself, and it works OK.
Here is a link: //www.3dstudio.nl/webshop/product/1-universal-material-converter
Hope it helps
