Consider using the geometry displacement modifier instead. This is a legacy attribute that will be removed in the future. Inner Width – Specifies the width of the inner lines. Inner Line Color – Specifies the color of the inner lines Inner Line Control – Enables a separate control for the inner edges. Width – Specifies the width of the outlines. Setting this value to 1.0 fills curved objects completely. Lower values reduce the internal overlapping lines, while higher values produce more overlap lines. Overlap Threshold – Determines when outlines will be created for overlapping parts of the one and the same object. Higher values mean that smoother transitions between face normals can also generate a line. A value of 0.0 means that only 90 degrees or larger angles generate internal lines. Normal Threshold – Determines when lines will be created for parts of the same object with varying surface normals (e.g. Opacity – Specifies the opacity of the outlines. Line Color – Specifies the color of the outlines. I do plan to make a thread with tips about converting from VRay to Cycles in the near future.The Outline attribute is available only when the engine is set to CPU. Render time for both were about 1min and 20sec. My custom script save me days of manual work in converting this scene. Export time of 1 minute and the same for the import. I did change the tone-mapping and light intensities for my own preference.

Did some minor material adjustments and adjusted the light intensities. This scene has over 100+ lights, 200+ materials and 800+ textures. See below an example of an Evermotion scene AI-50. I took me about 3 months to finally have an importer for VRay 3dsmax production type archviz scenes. Their also cameras, environment and FBX importer issues. Lights has to handle IES, spot, area, point, and HDRI and power intensity is very different, Materials in VRay have many important difference compare to Cycles from diffuse, metallic, reflection, refraction, opacity and PBR. This is not an easy task to handle properly many of the VRay production features into Blender and Cycles. I basically rewrote all the mayor parts of this script.

The importer script from MAXtoBlender that use “3dm2b.xml” to import into Blender it has a lot of problems I found a least 30 issues from minor to mayor.

It will create file “3dm2b.xml” with a list of all the materials, cameras, lights, and other of your scene. Start with MAXtoBlender the export part from 3dsmax works fine. Currently their is no converter for archviz production type V-ray 3dmax scenes to Blender.
