Corona Materials not importing with Datasmith from 3ds Max to UE 5.1

Hey :slight_smile:

I’ve spent some time tweaking and perfecting my scene and materials within 3ds Max using Corona render engine + Corona materials & assets. Very worryingly none of the materials come through when importing via Datasmith into UE 5.1 when importing Vray files I have no issues, is there a process I need to follow to ensure my materials come through or am I screwed? I’m definitely ticking the material box when importing.

Thanks!

Datasmith should support Corona materials, at least some basic material features.
Is your datasmith exporter 5.1?

What happen in UE? Do you get no material assets at all? or materials but not to the quality you were expecting?
Can you share the udatasmith file with us?

It’s come through as Legacy material with no texture at all. Seems like all Corona physical materials have done this…

Can you a screenshot of the corona material graph to see which nodes you are using?
And maybe the 3dsMax file too?
