• We recommend to use ALWAYS FurryBall materials.
• Materials from different renderers are supported just basically. There is NOT possible to reach 100% same visual look, because it's not primary FurryBall materials - it means "simulation" of those materials in FurryBall in fact

Maya materials

FurryBall has almost full support for these common Maya material shaders:

• Lambert
• Blinn
• Phong
• PhongE
• Anisotropic
• Layered
• RampShader
• Displacement

Mental ray materials

• mia_material
• mia_material_x
• mia_material_x_passes
• mia_car_paint_phen
• mia_car_paint_phen_x
• mia_car_paint_phen_x_passes

Arnold materials

• aiStandard

VRay materials

• VRayMtl
• VRayCarPaintMtl

The rest of the section will discuss the common Maya material shaders.

Common Maya Material Shader Attributes

All Common Shaders

All attributes from Common Material Attributes section are supported except translucency (some of them need special effect techniques enabled, eg. transparency). Textures and procedural textures can be attached to any of these attributes.

Blinn

All attributes from Specular Shading section are supported. File textures can be attached to all these attributes.

Phong

All attributes from Specular Shading section are supported. File texture can be attached to Specular Color attribute only.

PhongE

All attributes from Specular Shading section are supported. File texture can be attached to Specular Color attribute only.

Anisotropic

All attributes from Specular Shading section except for "Anisotropic Reflecivity" are supported. File texture can be attached to Specular Color attribute only.

Displacement

File texture or limited layered texture support.

Maya Ramp Shader

FurryBall provides hardware support for the Maya Ramp Shader material. This shader is useful for creation of cartoon silhouette shading effects.
