How to convert 3DS Max MAT to Sketchup Vis for V-ray

jesperfuglsang · 2 Apr 2012, 20:50

Is it possible to convert a 3DS Max MAT to Sketchup; preferbably to a Vismat?

I need to use some materials from Cembrit, but they are all 3DS Max MAT. I seem to come along that a lot lately.

I am a V-ray user; for both Sketchup and 3D Rhino.

Can anyone help?

Sincerely yours,

Jesper

There is no converter that will do this. Your best bet is to find a similar material already made in .vismat format and swap out the maps that come with the materials you are trying to convert.
