Never get materials in GLB in babylon Max exporter

[Andrey_Honich]

Hello,

Today I tried to convert about 15 different public Max models to .glb in babylon max exporter.
And in all cases I got zero materials / textures in the end.

Max files loaded fine, didn’t complain about missing textures.
But when I try to export glb - it complains about unsupported material VRayMtl in about 50% of nodes.
Exporting is very long, about 30 mins. And in the end of export - it says about 0 materials in output file.
And yes, when I open glb file - it has no materials.

Any suggestions please?

P.S. Thousands of examples here:

Modern Hotel With Swimming Pool | 3D model

Welcome! Maybe this link is helpful.(PS: I use Blender .I usually change the materials that cannot be exported to PrincipledBSDF)

About Vray export for BabylonJs

Hi @Buzul. Yes, Vray material is not supported, so when you export from 3ds Max if you export as babylon file then the exporter try to convert your materials to standard materials (if you are using Vray materials). If you export as gltf/glb i think it convert it to pbr material. And yes, as a workaround you have to use Physical materials on 3ds max. Here are few precious infos about how to deal with materials on 3ds Max to not lose their properties on export If you have any issues, we are he…

Changing materials in such big files - is several days of work. I expected that Exporter converts materials. There are many textures, diffuse, specular, other parameters, which can be used in GLB PBR material. But it just ignores the Max materials. No single material was exported. I’m currently trying to convert to FBX and then from FBX to GLB. At least exported FBX has all textures / materials exported.
