I'm putting it in a menu

A-ha, well that is actually one thing I didn't test!

Can you try it on a quad or toolbar for me please?

[olly]

I tried to affect the "output" of all diffuse bitmaps in the scene, but it doesnt do anything, is this the part you still will get to, or is it suppose to work already?

I have hooked this up now, just need to do bit more testing before releasing.

but like I said it seems to be working now

Sorry I didn't spot that. Glad you got it working.

Olly,
Is the effect ID hooked up correctly?
In my tests with version 2.00 it doesn't seem to change any values.

Is the effect ID hooked up correctly?

It is. Could you be confusing it with the the material ID (FX ID), a sort of shell property for any material. The "effect_id" property you see in the VMC is the vray implementation that allows values beyond 15.

Hope that helps?

There is a plugin to allow the original Mat Effect ID to go up to 255 somewhere on maxplugins.

I've just added v2.01, which includes:
bug fixes
revised functionality to set standard light vray shadow subdiv properties
the output properties for bitmap textures now works.
added bonus features for donators!

Version 2.1 is now available: http://www.oliverradford.com/3ds-max...erial-control/

Bug fixes:
Fixed the long standing “Unknown property: “subdivs” in Free Rectangle.” bug

Modified features:
Subdiv reset now applies your BF GI setting (if checked) to all of your RPManager passes if installed.

New features:
Hooked up the bitmaptexture functionality. There are now 3 classes you can work on that should cover nearly everything: StandardUVGen for changing blur and tiling etc. StandardTextureOutput for changing clamp and output amounts etc and bitmaptexture for most other stuff like filtering.
Added an auto update option for the script so you can always be up to date.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Olly
