[FIXED] Blend Materials Crashing 3ds Max 2021
Many DirectX shaders are crashing 3ds Max 2021, including the Wall Worm Blend Materials
There is a regression in 3ds Max 2021 that causes Max to crash when using Wall Worm's DirectX shaders for displacements.
Brush Materials have incorrect rotation and scale when using the DirectX Shader
The Wall Worm Material Library Generator originally created DirectX Materials for all materials. But updates to the VMF Exporter changed the way materials are interpretted. Whenever possible, you should not use DirectX Materials.
Convert Blends and 4ways to OSL
Converting DX Blend Shaders to renderable OSL shaders.
Unknown Bitmap Filetypes Crash VMF Exporter
Do not use bitmap filetypes that Max doesn't know how to read.
Using unknown bitmap types on world geometry and displacements will crash the VMF Exporter. This currently happens if using VTFs in materials in 3ds Max 2013 since there is no VTF plugin yet.
