A&D Architectural material collection

[JeffPatton]

I've posted an architectural material collection on my blog. The collection is built around the architectural bitmaps that ship with 3dsmax.

80 materials, all A&D.

looks amazing! on a selfish level, is there any way of saving that file in a ascii format? i'd be interested in porting those settings to maya, but its a binary file format... not highly readable...

hi,

i hope for you, that jeff save the template to a mi-file, then can you use it for Maya, XSI, or what for ever.

[JeffPatton]

i hope for you, that jeff save the template to a mi-file, then can you use it for Maya, XSI, or what for ever.Cool, so all I need to do is load all the materials into one scene and render it out into a .mi file? I can do that.

looks amazing! on a selfish level, is there any way of saving that file in a ascii format? i'd be interested in porting those settings to maya, but its a binary file format... not highly readable...I can try hot chip's idea to see if it will work. However, there's still going to be an issue with the actual maps. I can't distribute them since the collection ships with 3dsmax.

BUT, I'm not sure if the architectural bitmap collection is available as a download with the trial version of 3dsmax...If so, then that would be a way people could download the required maps. ;)

I still wonder why no industrious person with MaxScript and MEL skills havn't written a little MaxScript that can import/export A&D parameters to some, say, XML file, and a MEL script that does the same.

I would if I had time, but I really really do not.

@Jeff: yes that is very cool, when you do that. ;)

@MasterZap: I hope you have time for this. :o

Hi Jeff,
Just wondering if you were ever able to save the template as an mi file.
Thanks

[marcomaquetes]

Nice materials Jeff.

Marco.

[JeffPatton]

Just wondering if you were ever able to save the template as an mi file.Oops, sorry...afraid this fell off my radar. Anywho, I just created the .mi file (huge 41mb file!)...I zipped the file and placed it here:
http://pixelperfectgraphics.biz/Downloads/architectural_materials.zip

Let me know once you download the file so I can remove it from my server.

[SreckoM]

Tnx Jeff, again, from Maya people around. :D

[hot chip]

thank you jeff ;)

[Toaster]

Thank you Jeff!

I really admire your contributions to us MR users. But Jeff, pardon my ignorance, where should we exactly put that MI file?

[JeffPatton]

where should we exactly put that MI file?I have no idea how to load that file in Maya (I'm not familiar enough with Maya to say). You may want to ask over in the Maya forum. I was only supplying that file at the request of some of the Maya users earlier in this thread that wanted to see if it would load. I'm not even sure if it did.

[sartarius]

thank you Jeff for reupload!
now I just must find out how to use it :P

cheers!

[shiuhsheng]

I think it must be a fantastic shaders, just wondering how can we get a set for Maya? :rolleyes:

I think it must be a fantastic shaders, just wondering how can we get a set for Maya? :rolleyes:

Hmmm...maybe Master Zap could shed some light on this? :cool:

[HamburgerTrain]

I guess it can't be done then! Unless you type in the settings manually of course. :eek: :eek:
