3ds max Vray To Unreal Engine Converter script

niak_ris

Hello guys, i just finished my script for Convert 3ds max Vray to UE.  It's for my game, but i think some body can use it too
Basic pipline is : Select all objects in scene, click convert (wait some time), then export and import in unreal. It will be "same same" materials and positions of all objects.
I use  Vray Diffuse color to Vertex Color, Ambient Occlusion to Vertex Alpha, Reflection to U coordinate of 3 unwrap channel, and glossy to V coordinate of 3 unwrap channel. All baking prosecc making in one click button. 
Script inside Unreal helps to place all objects via Edit-Paste. Code generated by script.

New version wit Full processed Vray-> Unreal PBR shaders

niak_ris

Now Support Self Illumination for Emissive in UE4

So this works as a mass exporter tool as well? If I have a material attached a model will it be applied in UE4?

Yes, it's mass exporter tool, but all Vray materials Converts into 1 material in Unreal. Uncheck OverrideMtl Option before Export, then you will get all your materials in UE, but without Metallic, Roughness etc. You need to use base material "override material"

How is this vray? I mean you preview your material in Max with a vray material and then you export that in a weird way. You are just setting up pbr values in vray, and export that to unreal, right? And those "specular" and other nodes are really just custom nodes with a component mask, right

No, I use this for calculate BaseColor = Diffuse*(1-Reflect.max)+Reflect*Reflect.max, if dont have Fresnel checkbox in Vraymtl - it's for Metallic workflow.
I have some researches about this:


I want to convert "real" Vray Materials without any editing for UE.

I'm going to test your script on quite a complicated scene soon. Badly modelled DWG files from a suppliers website >:)

Dont forget to download new version of script and shader.

That spell is called flipped normals and its more like a curse rather than a magic.

We just switched from VRay to Corona, but I have to check this out. If it works, it's a gem.

Where can I got the script?

SchoolHomeVR

Here:  https://gumroad.com/l/xFoR   He does not answer questions though, even if you pay.  Buy it for $0.01 ... Then send a bigger donaton (re-purchase) if it 1) worked  2)  helps and/or 3)  He gets back to you with an answer,..

I do not get it. What is the point of baking 10x exact same mesh(balcony as an example)? That's not efficient.
