Material Libraries

Iray for 3ds Max offers hundreds of Iray+ materials to use in your projects. For easy access, these are supplied in 3ds Max Material Libraries. This page provides a list and preview of all the available materials. Click on a material category to view its contents. Click any thumbnail image to see a larger version.

Each material category includes a download link for the associated library. (However, given the size of the associated textures, there is no link from which to download all the available libraries simultaneously.) Each download is zipped for convenience and contains the material library itself (.mat format), any textures that it requires, and a guide to installing in 3ds Max.

You can also download this page as a PDF file.
