Of course, you should add a few lines to save files after converting

Thanks for your ideas
The new version is released with a focus on working with filters.



Add a toggle mode: when enabled, Tree View always shows only assets from the currently selected categories as the user browses through folders

You can select several categories and see all the assets from these categories.
Also, you can switch between modes – show intersected/all assets from selected categories

Version 3.18.42 supports color labels for any assets, including materials.
You can assign and filter by colors.
Also, this version has more convenient and extremely faster filters.
Thanks for your idea!

local rendClass = Vray
— local rendClass = CoronaRenderer // Uncomment this line in the script (remove “—“) and save

[Oleksandr Kramer]

What does the “File-Units” option do?

This is to indicate to use the Unit Scale from the opened file.

How do I get the script to convert VRay files to Corona files?

You can use a script shipped with Corona.
Just add a converter as post-open script.

You can do this with Batch Max Files script.
Just add a converter to post-open script

This issue might be related to settings or software conflicts on your system. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check Graphics Settings:
   Ensure your monitors are correctly configured in your display settings. Verify that the second monitor is recognized and set as an extended display.
2. Disable Scaling:
   If you’re using Windows, check the display scaling settings. Large scaling values might prevent some windows from being moved to another monitor.
3. Verify Window Modes:
   Ensure that PM is not set to full-screen mode. Try switching to windowed mode before moving it to the second monitor.
4. Check for Software Conflicts:
   Other programs, like window management tools or specific graphics-related utilities, might be interfering. Temporarily disable these tools to see if it resolves the issue.
5. Graphics Driver Update:
   Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers could cause this behavior. Update your GPU drivers to the latest version from the manufacturer’s website.
6. Test on Another User Profile:
   If possible, create a new user profile on your system and check if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is related to your current profile settings.

PS: A few months ago, a user faced a similar issue, and reinstalling their graphics drivers helped resolve the problem. It might be worth trying this step as well!

This issue is well known among 3ds Max users. During rendering, especially when batch processing or generating previews, 3ds Max tends to steal window focus, which disrupts parallel work in other applications. This has been discussed on forums, particularly on the Chaos Corona Forum, where users noted that even with the VFB (Virtual Frame Buffer) disabled, the render engine can still trigger popup windows that capture focus.

Additionally, this issue has also been discussed on the Autodesk forums, where users looked for ways to prevent 3ds Max from stealing focus when it starts.

You can assign one category to all materials.

This bug is resolved in version 1.15
Thanks for feedback

Ok. I found the problem. It will be simpler, if I know version of 3ds max. 3ds Max 2021 has a bug, with optional parameters in the maxscript.
I’ll post the update soon.

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Check for conflicts with other scripts – close 3ds max and rename the ENU directory.
Install Project Manager and add the script from the local drive.

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Try to move the script to local drive

Hello
Check if you used the latest version.
Try to download and replace this file.
If the problem still exists, restart the computer.
There is definitely no such bug in the script, so the problem is most likely with the garbage collector in 3d max.
Rebooting should help. Also installing or reinstalling the latest service packs and updates.
