I'm affraid not.
I didn't reach this far to add presets support.

A workaround could be to create a local material library with your common materials.

Hi Suvakas,

First, thank you for this plugin, after a week of experiment 3max 2012 and indigo 3.4.16. nvidia gtx 460m and cuda. I should say it's much convenient and stable than the "official plugin"why is not the official's one ?

Some questions:

I would like to be sure in 3dsmax Material Editor.

If the Glossiness is "exponent" and Dispersion is "cauchy effect" in indigo ?

You have sometimes a different way and often better way of thinking that the conceptor of Indigo interface 3.4.16 :)


Request:

It will be lovely please, if you can give us some advices and tutorials about:

The subsurface scattering roll out (not seen anything about that)
and
The exit portal (the one existing in the forum are based on sketch up)


A way to not loosing the name of object and Material when we exporting ?


Bugs :

For now, I just noticed that if I set the sun with a different layer than 0, 3dmax will crash when I recall the render set up pop up , but it will render fine in indigo.


Thank you very much for your work Suvakas

Hi Stéphane,
Great to hear that Maxigo has been useful to you.

Well... initially Maxigo was the official one, but I was too slow updating it so I got replaced by a better programmer. New guy, new plugin. 8)

That's correct. Glossiness = exponent and Dispersion = cauchy
I've never liked too technical terms so I used more "artistic" ones where I could.

In Maxigo it's a modifier called "Maxigo-Exit portal". Add it to model you want to turn into portal.

That's quite a bit of work. It's in my to do list though

Hmm.. I'm unable to reproduce it in 2013. It's probably fixed already. I just have to make a beta 4 build for 2012 too.

[edit]
Made a build for 2012. See if it fixes the issue.

Hi Suvakas,

Thank you for your reply

About the crash it still there with the new plugin,
What I should mentioned is that I set up the sun and sky with differents layers, my try was with sun layer 10 and sky layer 11.
Maybe that's not possible to separate sun and sky ?
So as I said it's render well but when I recall the render set up (F10) in 3dsmax , it crash anytime.

SSS rollout :
Sorry to ask again about the sss rollout do you have time to give us some explanations or where we can get a tutotial ?


Thank you in advance

Stéphane


Ps. For now, I don't think they hire a better programmer :) a lot a of bugs with "the official plugin" they should rehire you :)
