I’ve worked around this by editing the vrmat file and decreasing the material ID’s in multi/sub materials by 1. The vrmats aren’t affected by this which means after the export the material ID’s between the meshes and vrmats are out of sync. Apparently the fbx exporter decreases all material ID’s of multi/sub materials and the corresponding meshes by 1. NET method.Īnother edit I had to make, relates to material ID’s. After that’s done, the stringstream is written to disk with a. To speed this up I wrote the vrmat to a stringstream in memory instead. A vrmat file is some sort of an xml-type file but the scripts by Vray write them line by line. However, creating a vrmat with these scripts is very slow.

Vray supplies a bunch of scripts to make this happen which you can call from your own scripts. Tech backgroundĬreating the vrmats in an automated fashion is not that hard. You can orbit, pan and zoom this model and the image keeps refreshing. If you like this and want to bring interactivity to your 3D model catalog, do get in touch.

Below is an iframe with a realtime rendered 3D model. This is a huge boost to communicating 3D designs and presenting realistic yet interactive content. The script helps you with the vrmats Embedded renderingĬombine this seamless translation with the new embedded rendering feature and you get near instant rendering of scenes setup with Vray, online with hardly any loss of information. And even if you can, you can choose not to. The script helps you to determine if you can actually export vrmats. Keep in mind only Vray 3.0 and up generate vrmats in 3ds Max. It allows you to move Vray materials between maya, 3ds Max, blender etcetera. A vrmat is a generic description of a material compatible with Vray in several 3D packages. Read more about them on the vray website. Vrmats are a new feature introduced in Vray 3.0 for 3ds Max. It’s now possible to send your models to Clara.io and keep your Vray shaders intact! How cool is that? Within Clara.io you can render your scenes with Vray. Recently I’ve built a tool which syncs 3ds Max and Clara.io.
