3dsMax Viewport Shader

[ransomInK]

sounds kool to me. most ppl i kno use maya and it'll be a plus to have that as well (the default way to view normal maps in maya suck right now). i would seriously use maya more when the shader comes out. take your time on it, i kno it'll be great!

[beartraps]

yes that would be so awesome!! im damn sick of mayas high quality viewport shader

[sgv3dmax]

Me too. Maya's high quality viewport display sucks!

[Dennispls]

Yeah i agree the maya viewport is pretty poor especially with alpha mapped stuff.
I'd like to help if i can so if you need help etc let me know.

Is it the anisotropic filtering control? I did this but there is no change in texture quality.

allot of interest in a maya version apparently. Transparency in maya is very disappointing indeed, but with HLSL shaders it will only improve on single models. If you have multiple models in your scene then 9 chances out of 10 it will be wrong as well. (depending of the draw order of you meshes).

Thanks so much for this. It makes looking at my models so much better than constantly rendering out. I did actually try it out a couple of months back but it didn't want to work for watever reason, but I am glad I gave it another go.

Here is something that I quickly knocked up to test it all out.

It'd be awesome if you'd get this working in maya. I've always found the default high quality view sort of lacking.

It already works in Maya, Tiros mentioned it works. Just the issue of flipping the green? normals.

To use it however you need to load up the "Hlslshader" plug-in in the maya plug-in manager.

There's the issue for me currently though.
