Note: Unlike a standard 3ds Max m aterial, if you
assign the Surface component a bitm ap with ti ling
turned off, the original surface color does not
“show through.” In renderings, you see only the
untiled map, and none of the rest of the object.

Photon—Assigns a photon shader. Photon shaders
affect how object surfaces respond to photons;
that is, they control how the surfaces behave
when generating caustics and global illumination.
Default=locked to parent material.

Photon Volume—Assigns a photon volume shader.
Photon volume shaders affect how an object’s
volume responds to photons; that is, they control
how the volume behaves when generating caustics
and global illumination.
