3D Studio Max – Vray to FBX (Blender and Cinema4D)


Download

Download the script for 3dsmax here.

Once you have downloaded and installed the 3dsmax script follow the directions in the Youtube video to convert your V-ray models to export to GLB.

Download – Bonus Scripts (For Cinema4D)

Convert FBX to Vray

Convert FBX to Corona


Description

– Convert V-Ray Roughness Materials to FBX Standard (Legacy) Materials for exporting to FBX.

– Importing the FBX to Blender automatically creates a PBR materials (except for glass).

– Importing the FBX to Cinema4D, use these scripts above for your render engine.

– Export FBX settings: Enable “Embed Media” to include textures in the FBX file.


Why do I need this script?

Do you need to convert 3dsmax V-ray models to Blender or Cinema4D? Then this is why I made this script. Using the 3dsmax script will convert your Vray Roughness Materials to Standard Legacy Materials. The exported FBX files are then ready to be used for Blender and Cinema4D in one click. You can modify the script for your own needs.

Blender can use the 3dsmax script and you are good to go.

Cinema4D requires an extra script for V-ray. I’ve also recreated this script in case your render of choice is Corona. Both links are available above once you have imported your FBX file. If in doubt follow the Youtube video for more information.

3dsmax to Blender FBX/PBR

This guide should is designed to export your PBR Metallic/Roughness textures from 3dsmax to blender.

We will take our PBR textures, place them into a standard material and export to FBX. FBX settings are based on your preference and dont affect the material. Just be sure to check your units scale factor if you work in units other than meters.

Dielectric:

  • Specular Level: 0.25 = Specular 0.5 in Blender

  • Reflection = Checked On, but 0% which turns off Metallic on import

  • Normal Map: DirectX texture in 3dsmax, I swap this to OpenGL texture for export to blender.

  • Roughness texture in Glossiness slot.

Comparison Renders

Notes:

  • Same as above except swap the Reflection channel to 100% for Metallic objects (or place the Metallic map here)

Comparison Renders

If you want to control the Specular yourself using a 0/1 Map then place this into Specular Level (3dsmax). This will transfer this to the Specular Channel (blender).

3D Models – Corinthian Doors Infinity Range

The first instalment of Corinthian Door series to come. This is the Infinity Range and includes 9 doors, all rigged for animation complete with locks, latches, screws and hinges. These are typically Entrance Doors so open outwards only.

The files also include a version for Corona/Vray, Blender, OBJ/FBX. All with materials/textures included. The Corona/Vray files also have a version with Chamfer modifiers so the artist can control how they would like the bevels to be. There is also a mesh version for those who are happy with it as intended. These models are designed to be high quality while being low poly best suited for kit-bashing.

3D Models – Study Areas

A collection of 3D furniture stock for Study Areas available for architectural design. My goal is to save artists time modelling furniture allowing them to focus on creating better photo-realistic environments.

Designed for Vray & Corona. There is also an option for Blender Cycles. These models are designed to be high quality while being low poly best suited for kit-bashing.

Detailed Specifications:

Features

– Optimized for large interior/exterior scenes. Models & Textures are to be viewed from mid to far distance (closest distance as per render).

– Real world units and has accurate measurements so that 3D people can be placed on chairs and relative items to human heights and sizes.

– Geometry subdivisions where needed to allow for smooth edges without additional geometry where not required.

– Textures are optimized per geometry size – larger objects with higher resolution smaller objects with lower resolution maximizing viewport stability and ram usage when rendering large scenes.

– All textures are tiled and seamless.

– UV’s unwrapped or procedural where required to ensure correct direction and repeating for textures.

– Materials are all in one Multi-Sub Object and labeled so the user can easily distinguish each item. Diffuse textures are re-used in some most cases for Glossiness & Bumps with a color correction / output node for adjusting intensity or value – this allows for quick editing by the user and less textures to load into memory. Designed to emulate a PBR setup however are not game-ready materials.

File Format

– Vray & Corona ready, these are designed specifically for both render engines and look identical in both. Available for 3dsmax 2016+

– Blender 2.8, converted and adjusted materials to replicate a similar appearance to the original model. Embedded textures.

– FBX & OBJ available with textures and materials. Materials will not appear the same as Vray/Corona as they are converted to Standard Materials. FBX Embedded textures.

– System Units: Centimetres

– No additional plugins required other than the render engines themselves.

 

Additional Information

– Studio & lighting not included.

3D Models – Entry Tables

I am working hard on creating some models which are all royalty/copyright free, available for download and use in your Architectural Renderings. The concept behind this is to have a furniture pack which is able to be scattered in buildings for exterior renderings leaving you to the creative work of vegetation, lighting, post production. These will be high quality looking models from a distance, have a small footprint on RAM, it will utilize forest-pro so it can be scattered around and change materials randomly so that models that appear twice in different apartments will have different materials such as timber, painted white, different types of paintings, kitchens, living room layouts etc all based on splines. Light pendants will stick to ceilings automatically, furniture to the floor, and paintings to the walls. I will also be providing these models as separate items in case you want them specifically for individual situations.

The first set I have released to the public are Entry Tables. You can view the technical specifications below the renders.
