Note: As of the c urrent version of 3 ds Max, the
Ambient/Reflective Occlusion shader has been
updated to support certain capabilities for texture
baking (see this note). If you load a file containing
a material that uses the older version of the shader,
that same version is still used in the scene, and the
shader is renamed "Ambient/Reflective Occlusion
(base) (old)". T he old version of the shader
continues to be used in the scene until you reapply
it in the Material Editor.
Note: Unlike a st andard 3ds Max material, if you
assign the Surface component a bitmap with tiling
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.
Shadow—Assigns a shadow shader.
The shadow component can be assigned the
