If the parts of the objects are combined with the materials, one should already specify and organize the material in a right way. MAX creates a Multi/Sub-Object-Material with the adequate Mat-ID's and the sub-materials during attaching.
No empty shots
No nested Multi/Sub
names shall be clearly defined and specified according to the following specifying system. Please, pay attention to the capitalisation. Object names shall be taken over from the model or object list.
Materials without textures STANDARD_Object_
For example:
STANDARD_Chair_Wood
with texture LINEAR_Object_
transparent TRANSP_Object_
with alpha mask AND TRANEAR_Object_
fragmanted structure (balustrade or fences)
with fragmanted structure MIPMAP_Object_
(f.e. checked pattern)
Materials with alpha mask MASK_Object_
Blend BLEND_Object_
Multi/Sub-Object_MULTI_Object
It is not necessary use general specular- or reflection/refraction adjustments. One shall simply pay attention to diffuse-colour grades and textures. However, if specular adjustments are necessary to describe an exact material attribute (f.e. gleamy ceramics white colour), this attribute shall then be adjusted in order to guarantee that this will be copied later with other means. Materials which are used during the process shall not be used in no way. Exclusively the normal colour gradients and/or textures shall be used. Furthermore, no blend- composite- or vertex painting materials shall be used. The basic material is always a standard.
All scenes delivered as examples have materials created according to those guide lines.
