What is Corona Quick Convert (free)?

Corona Quick Convert is a small utility for 3ds Max that converts the currently selected lights and materials to Corona. It's compatible with Corona Renderer 4 and higher, and the current version converts materials to the Corona Legacy format.

The script comes in two forms. The MCR version can be assigned a keyboard shortcut, while the MS version can be added to Smart Merge or other utilities that support a post-script function. Installation is drag-and-drop: drop the MCR file into the viewport, with no need to remove previous versions, and the command appears under the D95 DESIGN category.
