' but this one is a bit beyond my current knowledge. I know it's possible to export as a 3ds File but I looked at the settings and I am uncertain if that includes or works with Vray Materials? I am under the impression that the blender materials should still work just the same but I am not quite sure. Blender tasks below 1 minute are free of charge Powerful 64-threaded nodes and 128Gb ram are ready for your creativity. I definitely prefer Blender over 3ds Max or any other program and never had any interest in using it either. Sign Up Create test task Current load: Low Avg. Load by Hours (GMT) Render Examples SketchUp V-Ray. This request has kinda left me scratching my head for the past couple of days trying to research it further. Has anyone tried any of this before? Or has anyone used 3ds Max that knows about this? I did some digging and found there's a plugin called Vray for Blender but I think that it may be just for rendering purposes, not quite sure. Here is the little that I know about V-Ray materials in Blender and Max : I'd greatly appreciate the advice and help or a point in the right direction, thanks in advance. V-Ray has plug-ins for 3ds Max and Blender which allow the use of V-Ray materials. You need a V-Ray licence for each to use these. The current cost of a V-Ray licence for 3ds Max starts at around 700 Euros(£630) at the moment, you can see an example of a purchasing page here [The V-Ray plug-in for Blender is around £220 AFAIK, you can see a purchase page here [When you have these there may be a way to include the used materials in the save files, I don't know. If you do want to have a better look at how V-Ray works in Blender and 3ds Max then take a look at these links : I would guess that you would have problems moving these files if you can create them from Blender to 3ds Max but I may be wrong!Įither way you are going to have to purchase at least one, possibly both, of the V-Ray licences to do this commercially and that is a big cost for a single request.

Yeah, seems like we're on the same page now.

That's about all I found was that plugin so I sent Chaos Group an email to inquire more and am awaiting a response to see if the plugin supports blender to vray material conversion.
