Converting Mental Ray Materials to Vray

Spooner04 · October 24th, 2007

Does anyone know how to convert Mental Ray colors to Vray Colors relatively easily? They both use RGB, but mental ray displays them as 0-1 and vray displays them 0-255. Any help is appreciated.

Using a calculator, divide your vray colour by 255. So a value of 100 becomes 0.4, a value of 25 becomes 0.1 etc.

Ya,
I was hoping there was an easier way. I've been multiplying 255 times the value in mental ray. This will be pretty time consuming over 5 scenes though, but I guess that's what I'll have to do.
