Indigo Renderer Forum

This is just a small question/proposition to all the max scripters out there.
Would it be possible to make a script that converts standart max materials to Indigo materials? Nothing fancy. It could convert all the standart mats into Indigo plastic and place the bitmap diffuse and bump textures into right places. It is very time consuming to do it manually.
Would it be possible?

YES this really sucks..

i have a half backed converter...
It converts Standard to indigo ..AND be careful Indigo to KT and vice versa ... so be carefull it will crash when there are indigomaterials
in the scene and no KT ( Kerkythea ) plugin installed..
Simple remove all that has to do with KT in the script to fix it...
Sorry i'm too lazy..

if someone fixes this it would be cool if he could post it here for others.
Never forget we all only got some cause some of us contribute
lagely...

It is not encrypted so feel free to improve it !!

I've removed some lines, added some new ones, trying to make the script quasi-inteligent [it should recognize all 5 indigo material types] and added a check box for exporting 3ds data.
When I'll find some more time, I'll add more material recognision (raytrace, architectural and Arch&Design)

It seems it's working, but I haven't tested it carefully, so drop me a line if something goes wrong

here's a script

cheers

Oh boy! Thank you so much u3dreal! There would be no Indigo for Max users without you.
Also thanks goes out to Jakub too! Cant wait to test it.

It w o r k s !!!
..and it works really well. I used it on one of my old scenes and it worked right "out of the box". I got zero errors. Good work guys !
Now where should i send the six pack?
