Converting Standard Surface to Corona (or Physical Material)

Hi there, I wanted to share a scene that I have set up in Arnold with someone who wants to render it in Corona Renderer.

The Arnold Standard Surface material type is showing up as 'not compatible' in Corona, and I can't find any way to automate converting the materials back to a Physical Material, which could then be converted to Corona Materials or even just rendered as is.

I have previously used the https://www.masd.dk/arnoldconverter/ to go from Physical to Arnold, but is there any known way to convert things back? The 3DSmax Scene Converter doesn't list Arnold Standard Surface as an option for conversion.

Not really. In situations like these you need to use the Physical Material from the start. This will allow you to move between renderers as long you also use OSL nodes.
