Vraymax Converter Pro

This is a game-changer for landscape architects. VrayMax Converter Pro can convert V-Ray Proxies (.vrmesh) to Corona Proxies (.cgeo) directly within the scene. You no longer need to export/import manually.

The "Version Gap" is a silent killer of deadlines. You cannot open a 3ds Max 2025 file in 3ds Max 2022 without losing data—or so we thought.

VRayMax Converter Pro includes a powerful "Save to Previous Version" feature. It strips away the proprietary version locks of V-Ray scenes and saves them back to older versions of 3ds Max while retaining the material integrity. This feature alone justifies the price of admission for studios collaborating with external partners who may be running different software versions.

As rendering moves toward unified PBR workflows and node-based materials, conversion tools will shift to:

Beyond materials, the tool addresses scene environment:

Here is the typical workflow for migrating a V-Ray scene from 3ds Max to Unreal Engine using this tool. This is a game-changer for landscape architects

Step 1: Preparation in 3ds Max Before running the converter, clean your scene. Purge missing DLLs, reset the XForm on problematic objects, and ensure all textures are locally stored. Run the VRaySceneChecker function (included in the Pro suite) to identify potential errors.

Step 2: Launch the Converter Navigate to Scripting > Run Script and load VrayMax_Converter_Pro.ms. The UI is minimalistic by design—usually a floating window with three tabs: Materials, Lights, and Geometry.

Step 3: Select Your Target Engine Choose your output: Unreal Engine (Datasmith) or Corona Renderer. If selecting Unreal, ensure you check the box labeled "Create Material Instances". This allows you to tweak parameters in Unreal without re-exporting. The "Version Gap" is a silent killer of deadlines

Step 4: Run the Conversion Click "Start Conversion". Depending on scene size, this may take 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Watch the progress logger—it will report exactly which materials failed (usually due to corrupt bitmaps or unsupported nodes like VRayFur).

Step 5: Export to Unreal Once converted, use the Datasmith Exporter button inside the script. This locks the converted materials to the export. Import into Unreal. You should see a near-perfect 1:1 visual match.
