New page

=Introduction=

MaxToLux is the 3dsMax internal plugin to render directly inside 3dsmax using LuxCoreRenderer API. The plugin(s) is written in c++. MaxToLux is still under development and needs more work to be a complete renderer.

The original forum discussion about this topic can be found [https://forums.luxcorerender.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1010 here]

[[File:MaxToLux Internal screenshot.jpg|450px|thumb|left|Screenshot by Omid Ghotbi [https://forums.luxcorerender.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=539 (TAO)]]]

MaxToLux is written in C++, and it's integrated into the

interface like most other renderer plugins and natively

utilizes the LuxCore interface.

This renderer plugin is still in an early stage of development.

If you want to contribute by testing the plugin, suggesting

features or by joining the developer team refer to [https://forums.luxcorerender.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1010 this thread]

for more information.

=Report bugs & feature requests=

For now, you can report any bugs and suggestions in MaxToLux [https://forums.luxcorerender.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1010 Subforum] until bug tracker gets ready.

=Supported features=

==Materials==

All materials are supported

archglass
carpaint
cloth
glass
glossy2
glossytranslucent
glossycoating
matte
mattetranslucent
metal2
mirror
mix
null
roughglass
roughmatte
velvet

===Architectural material===

We try to support the standard material 'Architectural material'. This is so that users of the architectural application can more easily render their scenes without converting the shaders. This is work in progress, but currently, it supports:

Template settings:

Glass
Metal brushed
Mirror

More features are added as we progress.

==Lights==

LuxToMax Has own Light source.

Common parameters
sun
sky2
infinite
point
mappoint
sphere
mapsphere
spot

MaxToLux translates these standard lights into LuxCoreRender lights:

Omni
Spot Light
Directional Light
Sky Light

===Default lights===

if there is no light in the scene, the plugin will automatically create a skylight as a Default light in the scene. It'll work as ambient/global light.

==Cameras==

LuxToMax Has own Cameras.

However, we support the standard 'target camera' and 'physical target camera. We will add support for 'viewport' type rendering soon. Also, a custom LuxCoreRender camera with all the LuxCoreRender camera settings in its GUI will be created as soon as we have time.
