unless the Software or OpenGL driver is active. Renderings always use software shading. Usually you will want to choose a material that clearly identifies which objects in your scene have the DirectX 9 Shader material applied. NOTE The DirectX 9 Shader material has no specific settings for software shading. Any type of 3ds Max material will do. Scenes from previous versions that used DX9-specific settings are assigned a Standard material with equivalent rendering properties. NOTE If DirectX 9 is not available on your system, but you assign the DirectX 9 Shader material anyway (by using the Material/Map Browser's Incompatible option), this is the only rollout that appears in the Material Editor. DirectX Viewport Shaders LightMap Shader Rollout Material Editor > Viewport Manager rollout > Choose LightMap from the drop-down list. > LightMap Shader rollout appears. When you have chosen LightMap as the DirectX viewport shader on page 5393, this rollout appears. The LightMap shader can display both a base texture and a lighting map. Typically both these maps come from rendering to textures (texture baking) on page 6371 The base texture typically would be a completed map, a blend map, or a diffuse map. You can choose these map types, as well as lighting map, to render as elements of a baked texture on page 6376. NOTE In order to use the LightMap shader, you must have 3ds Max configured to use the Direct3D graphics driver. To change the graphics driver configuration, refer to the Viewport Preferences on page 7753 topic. 5760 | Chapter 19 Material Editor, Materials, and Maps
