V-RayMax Converter PRO earns its place in the scriptspot library as one of the most popular scripts there, covering conversions across V-Ray, Corona and several other engines, plus material output to Standard, PBR and glTF formats.
V-RayMax Converter PRO is a 3ds Max script from 3DZver for moving scenes between render engines. It converts materials, maps, lights, cameras, modifiers, helpers, proxies and render elements from other engines to V-Ray, and from V-Ray to Corona Renderer. Supported sources into V-Ray include Standard (Default Scanline), Corona, FStorm, Octane, finalRender, Arnold, Brazil_Advanced and an unofficial NVIDIA iray material.
Beyond engine-to-engine work, it converts V-Ray and Corona materials to Standard, Physical, PBR and OpenPBR materials, and to glTF Material for .glb export to software such as Blender, Gestaltor and Babylon.JS (3ds Max 2023 or later). It also handles proxies, standard bitmaps, physical cameras, sky and night-sky systems, and render elements in both directions.
Batch processing runs across multiple .max scenes and .mat material libraries, and a built-in MaxScript API exposes most converter functions for use without the UI or alongside other scripts. It can automatically configure an ACEScg workflow in V-Ray, and supports 3ds Max 2018 through 2027.
V-RayMax Converter PRO is best for 3ds Max artists migrating scenes between render engines into V-Ray or from V-Ray to Corona, and anyone needing V-Ray or Corona materials converted to Standard, PBR/OpenPBR or glTF for export.
V-RayMax Converter PRO is completely free to download and use.
V-RayMax Converter PRO supports 3ds Max versions 2018 through 2027, so 3ds Max 2027 is covered. One feature has a narrower requirement: converting materials to glTF Material needs 3ds Max 2023 or later, since glTF output targets .glb export for tools like Blender, Gestaltor and Babylon.JS. Other conversions work across the full supported range. For the current version and update details, check the developer's page.
V-RayMax Converter PRO converts scenes to V-Ray from Standard (Default Scanline), Corona Render, FStorm Render, Octane Renderer, finalRender, Arnold, Brazil_Advanced (RS v1.2) and an unofficial NVIDIA iray material. Going the other way, it converts from V-Ray to Corona Renderer, and both V-Ray and Corona materials can be converted to Standard, Physical, PBR/OpenPBR or glTF materials. Materials, maps, lights, cameras, modifiers, helpers, proxies and render elements are all part of the conversion scope.
V-RayMax Converter PRO includes a built-in MaxScript API that lets you call most converter functions programmatically, so you can run conversions without the UI or in combination with other third-party scripts. It also supports batch processing across multiple 3ds Max scene (.max) files and material library (.mat) files, which handles many files in one pass. These automation options sit alongside the standard interface.
V-RayMax Converter PRO is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and updates are handled through the developer: updates download from your Dashboard after activation, and you can check for updates via the [Check For Update] button in the converter's [About] tab. Licenses can be deactivated from that same tab or from the product Dashboard on the website. For current licensing terms, check the developer's page.
