V-Ray can use several different material types, including the 3ds Max Physical Material. Understand how this particular material fits into a V-Ray pipeline and explore the use of the Physical Material presets to quickly create common materials such as metal and stone.
- [Instructor] Another way to create materials for V-Ray … is to use 3ds Max's own physical materials. … Now, these have some advantages in that, … the physical material can be used … for other types of renderers, … but it also has some very nice presets that you can use. … So let's start of with something simple. … Let's start off with the faucet for the sink. … I'm going to go into my Compact Material Editor, … and let's start with an IPR. … So I'm going to fire up an IPR here, … and, you can see, I have the faucet here rendered. … Now, for this, we actually want a metallic material. … Now I can create something from scratch using V-Ray, … but in this case, I'm going to select an empty slot here, … and let's go into a physical material. … Let's go ahead and change that over … from a standard to physical. … And then, if we scroll through our physical materials, … you see we have a lot of controls here, … and some of which are very similar to V-Ray, … but also, up here, we have some very nice presets. …
