Hi paride4331

I have tried it, but my figure just stays white.....

I must try again (I'm not at my Computer right now), but I must be doing something wrong.

Hi paride4331

i made the mistake to merge the model into an other project. if i open the model then the converter works ok, but all materials are glossy, is that right?

Hi Jorgensen,
Yes is it right, vray material has a reflection, then octane transforms the material into a glossy.
The conversion is not always perfect, you should adjust the roughness that corresponds about glosiness (more or less) in vray (but in reverse).
