3ds Max Material Support

Shaderlight will support the majority of 3ds Max Materials. Some are excluded simply because they are outdated and have no relevance in a physically accurate renderer, others are awaiting full implementation. Shaderlight does not support any mental ray or Vray materials.

The following table details the 3ds Max materials that are supported in Shaderlight:

Standard
Anisotropic	Supported
Blinn	Supported
Metal	No
Multi-Layer	No
Oren-Nayer-Blinn	Supported
Phong	Supported
Strauss	No
Translucent Shader	No

Raytrace
Anisotropic	Supported
Blinn	Supported
Metal	No
Oren-Nayer-Blinn	Supported
Phong	Supported

Compound Materials
Blend	No
Composite	Supported
Double-Sided	No
Morpher	No
Multi/Sub-Object	Supported
Shellac	No
Top/Bottom	No

Matte/Shadow	Supported
Shell Material	No
Advanced Lighting Override	No
Lightscape Material	No
Ink 'n Paint	No
Xref Material	No

There are some parameters within both Standard and Raytrace materials which are not supported: wireframe mode, face map, faceted and ambient color. Extra lighting, translucency and fluorescence are not supported in the Raytrace Material. These are not supported either because they have no relevance in a physically accurate renderer, or because we will implement a more accurate alternative.
