Scripted Vray Materials

[samuel_bubat]

Hi there,

I´m really new (inexperienced) to scripting.
I followed an example in the maxscript documentation
to extend a Standard material with a new rollout,
that controls some basic parameters of the actual material.
With a standard material it works fine.
But when I replace the standard material with a VrayMtl, I get an error.

-----
plugin material s_test

name: "s mat test"

classID:#(0x2dbc484f, 0xc76a672)

extends:VRayMtl
replaceUI:false
------

This is how I expected it to work, but I get the following error.

-- Error occurred in anonymous codeblock; filename: ; position: 7
-- Runtime error: Plugin redefinition: cannot change extends class. VRayMtl

Is it possible at all to do it that way ?
What am I doing wrong ?

Thank You,

sam

Yes, it is possible to base scripted materials on VRayMtl (all the Egz materials work this way). I am not sure about the exact reason for the error though - perhaps you need to use a different ClassID?

Best regards,

Great, it works now.
I needed a new classID and name when changing
the extends:Standard to extends:VrayMtl

Thank You,

regards,
