| 12.04.2004 MAXShade is a scripting language much like MAXScript. But while MAXScript is designed for writing tools, MAXShade is designed for writing shaders. A shader is an element of a renderer. In Max, materials, textures, video post filters, render effect filters, lights, and atmospherics can all be considered shaders. With MAXShade, you can use a simple scripting language to write new materials, textures, and render effect filters quickly and efficiently. You won't need to lean C++, Windows API, or the Max SDK to add new materials, textures, or filters to Max. Shaders are much more compact than C++ plugins; a simple shader requiring 30 lines of code in MAXShade, may require 3000 lines of code to produce the same results in C++. This means you can quickly prototype your ideas with MAXShade, and see your results instantly. The shading language is, for the most part, compatible with the RenderMan Shading Language. This means that not only can you write your own shaders from scratch, you can also make use of the many RenderMan shaders available from its years of use in film production. | ||

| Michael Spaw | MultiColor v1.0 94.6 KB |
Material |
| Compiled / Description | ||
| 27.02.2003 This rather unusual looking shader comes directly from one of Ken Musgrave's chapters in 'Texturing & Modeling A Procedural Approach' Second Edition. If you are interested in coding up your own procedural textures and materials this is the book to pick up. I hadn't seen anyone actually implement it for a commercial package so I gave it a try. The result is rather pleasing but rather slow and not too friendly for the parameters. | ||
