Hi guys i know this has been covered again and again but i am struggling with one thing.

I found a script for converting vray mats to mental ray arch and design mats

i have also found the vray material i want to convert here:
http://www.vray-materials.de/all_materials.php?mat=1587

now all i need to know is how i use the script in order to convert it to an arch and design material.

i want the exact same look in mental ray and the chrome preset just ain't doing it for me at the minute.

the client produces counters (i.e. butchers) i used that a&d chrome and she said it isn't silver/shiny enough so i guessed that the vray material in the link i have given is perfect and she agreed.

so could anyone give pointers as to how i would use the script (oh by the way the script is on zap's site which i'm sure everyone is familiar with)

or could you guys give me pointers on how to achieve the same quality in MR. It needs to look exactly like the vray mat in the link

cheers guys (this is kind of urgent)
