HDRI Lights lets you place HDR photos of real-world lightsources that dynamically update the scene HDRI Environment controls the positioning and final look of the environment both in the viewport and the final render Full control over smoothing and blending values. Weight options include: Area, Angle, and Largest Face Generates explicit normals for meshes better and faster than ever The Weighted Normals modifier improves the shading of models by altering the vertex normals to be perpendicular to larger flat polygons Drag and drop downloaded PBR maps straight from Windows Explorer into the Material/Maps Browser. The two types of maps, PBR Material (Metal/Rough) and PBR Material (Spec/Gloss), ensure compatibility with any real-time engine workflow New PBR materials make the interaction of light with surfaces physically accurate Support for OSL texture maps and Blended Box map

Error validation and compatible map filtering

Extensive renderer support including Arnold New tool for baking maps and surfaces offers faster performance in a new streamlined workflow I just get 3 min of errors every time I try to load a material as it tells me how incompatible they are.Autodesk 3ds Max 2021 English (圆4) 圆4 | 8.34 GBĪutodesk has launched 3ds Max 2021, the latest update to the 3D modelling and animation software, including a number of significant new features for game development and VFX work. Also physical materials, though they are supposed to work, are not for me. Oh and are there any material libraries of the Arnold Standard material available for download or purchase? I've not been able to find any. but I just want a simple fractal bumpmap. So. Just how can I use fractal noise as a source of my bump map? Not normal map, though I'll do that if I have to.

I feel like I have to re-learn everything, at 54 years old I do not want to do that. Ever since the addition of Arnold and the removal of Mental Ray, I've been crippled and it's driving me over the edge. Would like to use the Arnold Standard Shader but nothing I do seems to work and there does not seem to be any documentation on this (max help used to be so great. Just trying to use a simple fractal noise for a bump map on a floor. I am also struggling with this, feels like 1989 all over again LOL
