This document summarizes the types of materials and settings that are exported by the OgreMax Scene Exporter.

OgreMax Material

The OgreMax material and all its settings are exported.

Standard 3DS Max Material

Standard 3DS Max materials are exported with one technique, one pass, and up to two texture units.

• Ambient Color
• Diffuse Color
• Specular Color
• Self-Illumination Color - Exported as emissive color.
• 2-Sided - Exported as culling mode.
• Wire
• Faceted
• Glossiness - Exported as shininess.
• Opacity/Transparency Type - If the opacity is less than 100 blending is enabled, though the actual opacity value is ignored. The 'additive' and 'subtractive' transparency types are supported directly. 'Filter' transparency is treated as subtractive.
• Diffuse Texture Map - Exported as a texture unit.
• Self Illumination Texture Map - Exported if using the commercial version of OgreMax. Exported as a texture unit. The map should reference a grayscale bitmap - its contents will be added to the main texture unit.

Raytrace Material

Raytrace materials are exported with one technique, one pass, and possibly one texture unit.

• Ambient Color/Intensity
• Diffuse Color/Intensity
• Specular Color
• Self-Illumination Color/Intensity - Exported as emissive color.
• Glossiness - Exported as shininess.
• Diffuse Texture Map - Exported as a texture unit.

VRay Material

VRay materials are exported with one technique, one pass, and possibly one texture unit.

• Diffuse Color
• Glossiness - Exported as shininess.
• Diffuse Texture Map - Exported as a texture unit.

VRay Fast SSS Material

VRay Fast SSS materials are exported with one technique, one pass, and possibly one texture unit.

• Shallow Color - Exported as diffuse color.
• Shallow Texture Map/On - Exported as a texture unit if specified and 'on' is enabled.
• Deep Texture Map/On - Exported as a texture unit, but only if shallow texture map is not specified.

VRay Light Material

VRay Light materials are exported with one technique, one pass, and possibly one texture unit.

• Color - Exported as diffuse color.
• Texture Map/On - Exported as a texture unit.

ProMaterials Generic

Generic ProMaterials are exported with one technique, one pass, and up to two texture units.

• Diffuse Color - Exported as diffuse color.
• Backface Culling - If disabled, backface culling is disabled.
• Transparency - If enabled, additive blending is enabled.
• Diffuse Texture Map - Exported as a texture unit.
• Self Illumination Texture Map - Exported if using the commercial version of OgreMax. Exported as a texture unit. The map should reference a grayscale bitmap - its contents will be added to the main texture unit.

ProMaterials Metal

Metal ProMaterials are exported with one technique, and one pass.

• Diffuse Color - Exported as diffuse color.

ProMaterials Metallic Paint and Plastic/Vinyl

Metallic Paint and Plastic/Vinyl ProMaterials are exported with one technique, one pass, and possibly one texture unit.

• Diffuse Color - Exported as diffuse color.
• Diffuse Texture Map - Exported as a texture unit.

ProMaterials Mirror

Mirror ProMaterials are exported with one technique, and one pass.

• Tint Color - Exported as diffuse color.

ProMaterials Solid Glass

Solid Glass ProMaterials are exported with one technique, one pass, and possibly one texture unit. Additive scene blending is always enabled.

• Transmittance Color - Exported as diffuse color.
• Transmittance Map - Exported as a texture unit. The map should reference a grayscale bitmap.

Textures

All exported material types except the OgreMax material use 3DS Max's 'Bitmap Texture', 'Tint', and 'Composite' maps. The following texture settings are used whenever a texture unit is generated:

• UV Offset - Exported as texture scrolling.
• UV Tiling - Exported as texture scaling.
• UV Mirror/tile - Exported as a texture addressing mode. Mirroring and disabled tiling will look different in the exported data than in 3DS Max, but the effect will be similar.
• W Rotation Angle - Exported as texture rotation.
• File Name - The base file name is exported.
