IN PROGRESS: DDO materials in 3ds Max

Reinchard

Hi! I'm using Quixel DDO for few weeks and I wonder which way is the most correct for exporting the materials from DDO and importing them in 3ds Max? I'm using Mental Ray renderer and arch&design materials. I'm put DDO maps to gloss/diffuse/bump slots (I don't know where exactly should I put the specular map) but every time I have different look compare to the 3DO viewer. So what kind of materials and lights should I use in 3ds Max?

Please please please: I need to know exactly the same thing. Bought it, love it, but back in max, although it looks pretty neat, it's nowhere near the same. Is there a tutorial like "from ddo to max" where and or how to place the generated maps, and how to get the same result. Maybe a link to relevant literature. Anything that can help will be very much appreciated. #LoveAndRespect

Same thing here. I use mostly the difusse map so i would like to know, if possible, how best can i bake some of the lighting and reflex details i see in the quixel suite into the diffuse, regardless if 3dsmax is needed or not.

Hello,

What input slots are there for the Mental Ray material you're using? I'm not too familiar with Mental Ray, but I'll do my best to help.

Also, how is your lighting set up?

Must it be Mental Ray?, must it be V-ray? Light set-up? I'm so lost...

I managed (https://sketchfab.com/models/0777211f71964d8c9fa137554555074f) to apply a material from Quixel back to the original Max model, but it was the entire "texture set 1" map applied to the mesh.  It took some fussing and ended up being a bland clone.  I would love to export my Quixel "Zink" and "Brick" and etc. smart map materials and reuse them back in max.  I don't think it is possible.   I am going to try out Substance 2 soon for their 1 month trial,  Too bad, the Quixel models look super.  Perhaps the Q masks can be extracted and utilized in M materials...
