      Now that Sketchup has several plugin Rendering applications, I was wondering if anyone had created a macro that would convert the Material parameters of one application to one. I often see content that has had rendering parameters assigned for a specific renderer but it would be nice to use those parameters in another rendering application...

      TIA!

        Do you mean like converting Vray materials to say Thea?

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

          Exactly or vice versa... Podium<->Twilight<->Vray<->Thea etc. It would also be nice if Trimble added some basic specular and bump parameters which all renderers would tie into.

            I think that the only feasible ways it to have some core support for basic surface features (color/texture): diffuse, reflectance, roughness, bump/normal by Trimble. Those would help a lot with the SU native OpenGL renderer.
