How to remove any reference to Corona or V-Ray from a MAX file?

[Anonymous]

Hello:

This is a pervasive problem whose investigation I have been postponing for a while. I download some model from a website. Many are based on V-Ray with the second most common 3rd. party renderer being Corona. Am interested in evaluating the geometry only.

The latest is a delivery from a Freelancer. I went into the Asset Tracking and Material Editor:

However, I keep on getting this and similar errors:

The author tells me that he inadvertently must have added some kind of Corona asset but he does not know how to clean it up.

TIA,

Try this script. Make sure to make a backup of scene first. You may have to copy the link instead of clicking on it, or just search for it on scriptspot. My iPhone loves destroying links when I copy them.

That is a useful script, indeed:

So that worked I take it?

...I have the iPhone only for the 3D camera which is awesome for capturing geometry...the rest is overpriced/overhyped for how much that dang thing costs...the main camera on a 10S Max is worse than my 6 year old Nokia for capturing fine details and in low light. /rant
