Okay, I feel this is going to be a make or break point - something that will encourage users that are already importing their models in to Max form Rhino for rendering to do it locally in Rhino.
I realize that this is still in beta stages, but the material editor is essential. You have to have some form of preview window for the material that updates after a change to the material parameters. What would attract a lot of hardcore max rendering people would be a material editor that's has a look and feel to it like Max's material roll out.
Another point is that the VRay core should be essentially the same in Max than it is in Rhino. This means that objects and materials should render relatively the same in both VRay for Max and VRay for Rhino, this would allow you bring materials built in Max over to Rhino. Perhaps a save to .txt file option can be encouraged in the Max (I told Vlado of the idea a few days before I found out about this beta), then an import option in the Rhino material editor could copy the material settings off the .txt file. I tried to open a .mat file from max in notepad and the info is all garbled, so that's a no go I guess.
Just my 2 cents.
