|---|---|---|---|
| Cinema 4D V-Ray | Intended support: 2024–2027. Tested on 2026.3.3. | Cinema 4D 2026.3.3 | TestedImported material graphs, rendering and save/reopen have been tested on the setup shown. |

| Cinema 4D Arnold | Intended support: 2024–2027. Tested on 2026.3.3. | Cinema 4D 2026.3.3 | Tested with a host caveatTested separately; using Arnold alongside Octane Demo caused a shutdown issue in our test setup. This does not mean every installation is affected. |
| Cinema 4D Redshift | Intended support: 2024–2027. Tested on 2026.3.3. | Cinema 4D 2026.3.3 | TestedMaterial graphs, rendering and save/reopen were tested separately from Octane Demo. Other Cinema 4D and Redshift versions still need checking. |

| Maya Arnold | Intended support: 2024–2027. Tested on: 2027. | Maya 2027 · MtoA 5.6.0 | TestedMaterial translation has renderer-specific limits. Earlier Maya releases still need their own testing. |
| Maya Redshift | Intended support: 2024–2027. Tested on: 2027. | Maya 2027 · Redshift 2026.8.0 | TestedThis tested setup does not establish support for all Maya/Redshift combinations or perfect source-renderer fidelity. |

| Houdini Arnold | Intended support: 20.5–21.0, Python 3.11. Tested build: 21.0.440. Houdini 22 is outside the current range. | Houdini 21.0.440 · Arnold integration | Render validation incompleteThe target is available, but a matching HtoA and Houdini version is required. Rendering tests are unfinished. |
| Houdini Redshift | Intended support: 20.5–21.0, Python 3.11. Tested build: 21.0.440. Houdini 22 is outside the current range. | Houdini 21.0.440 · Redshift 2026.2.1 | Render validation incompleteStructural material checks exist. Rendering remains unverified because the tested environment could not complete licensed rendering. |
| SketchUp V-Ray | Intended support: 2021–2026, with renderer support varying by year. Tested on 2026.2.243. | SketchUp 2026.2.243 · V-Ray 7.40.02 | TestedNative materials, render and fresh-process save/reopen were exercised. Exact geometry/UV persistence remains an open validation item. |
| SketchUp Thea | Intended support: 2021–2026, with renderer support varying by year. Tested on 2026.2.243. | SketchUp 2026.2.243 · Thea 4.5.1448.0170 | TestedRendering and material/assignment persistence were checked on representative scenes. Some source graphs are spatially baked or approximated. |

What every conversion needs.
The scene and its assets
A .max file or supported archive with companion textures. V-Ray and Corona are the main source material families. Source year alone is not a compatibility guarantee.
Room to work
Allow disk space for extracted assets, the scene and optional AI downloads. Available memory and scene complexity determine practical limits; a GPU is not required for basic library use.
3ds Max is not required for conversion to the destinations above. Opening the original scene in 3ds Max itself requires an installed, compatible version and its source plugins. There is no Linux installer.
What can vary between renderers.
Oruva rebuilds supported materials for the destination. Some procedural, layered, hair, proxy or environment features need approximations; selected workflows may bake part of a material.
Read the import report and review the surfaces that matter. A successful import does not promise identical lighting, colour management or pixels across renderers.
Keep the original package and try a representative asset before committing a large collection. The first-conversion guide explains how to inspect the graph, render and save/reopen.
If your exact version is absent, email hello@oruva.app with your OS, application and renderer versions.
