losing Accurender materials...

[Rick Houle]

Is there any way to not lose all my object render materials when upgrading to 2009?
Do I have to re-materialize everything manually?

If you search, there should be something that spells out a process to not lose the materials from accurender to mental ray....there is a file to modify that would allow you to say, make this accurender material match this mental ray material.....but other than re-mapping, you can't save the render material....accurender, and its materials, are long gone.

So do a search about "accurender material mental ray" and see what comes up....meanwhile, somebody that knows the location of the file to modify might post here...
