The Height option in the Enscape Material Editor allows you to utilize so called Bump, Normal, or Displacement maps in order to simulate bumps, wrinkles and dents and the lighting of these.īump maps can be any black and white 2D images. The amount by which it’s blurred is being determined by the Roughness value in the Reflections area. If the Frosted Glass checkbox is enabled, Enscape will blur what’s visible through the transparent surface. You know this effect from looking at a glass of water, or very thick glass.Īir has a refractive index of 1.0 – so light rays travel through it in a straight line -, water has an index of 1.33, window glass 1.52, and, for example diamonds have an index of 2.42 – they bend light quite heavily.įor further information on this topic, feel free to have a look at the Wikipedia article. The Refractive Index slider determines by which factor light is being bent when traveling through a transparent surface. This menu allows you to choose a color that should be added to any semi-transparent areas of your material. If you’re using it combined with a transparency map, it will define the maximum opacity, so white areas on said map will appear as opaque as you’ve set using this slider. The Opacity slider controls the overall transparency of the surface. If you load a colored image, Enscape will automatically convert it to black and white, so you don’t have to worry about that. Grey areas will appear partially transparent, such as glass. It refers to the Opacity value, so a black area (which equals zero) on the image used will result in a close-to-perfectly transparent portion of the surface, while a white area will appear almost completely opaque. The library is installed alongside the Iray for 3ds Max plugin.The Texture parameter allows you to control the transparency using a 2D image, a map. This library contains a subset of materials from all the other Material Libraries listed on this page. Each zip also contains information about installing an Iray+ library within 3ds Max.

Each library download is zipped for convenience and contains both the library and the textures required for that library. Given the size of the textures involved there is no link to download all the libraries. Click any image to see a larger version.Įach section on this page also has a link for download. This page provides a list and preview of the material libraries available for download.

Iray for 3ds Max makes hundreds of materials available for use in your projects.
