3DAllusions LLC to Launch MrMaterials! - 3DAllusions

Great news! Monday we are officially launching a new site called MrMaterials! The site will be a mental ray material repository for Max, Maya and XSI with a section for straight texture files as well, so it should prove useful to all once it gets up to speed.

We have some great people on board for the project, I think most of you know Jeff Patton, he created the MatLabs (material setup scenes) in Max and others like Jared Martin and Harry Bardak translated the scenes to Maya and XSI. We have Blogs and other stuff in the works and plan to have articles and tutorials in the near future as well as a lot of other cool stuff. Each week for about 5 months we will be giving away a material and texture set of full sized Arroway Textures. We have lots in the works and Jeff Patton's Blog will be occuring at the site.

Welcome to Mr Materials!

I will be spending the weekend uploading resources to the site so that by Monday we should have a decent amount of content for Max but Maya and XSI will be lacking until we get time to concentrate on those platforms. I would like to ask that anyone who has the time might stop by and download the MatLabs and use them to setup and present materials you are willing to donate and upload them to help the site get up and going. It would be greatly appreciated.

If you find problems please advise as it is difficult to trouble shoot everything and the cross browser compatibility has proven to be a pain in the but and some cosmetic quirks may be fixed after the launch.

Hope to see you there! Welcome to Mr Materials!

Congratulations on your new project Russell. It really sounds great.
This site is going to be major success, I'm sure

Mental Ray material library site is something internet needs badly...
Good luck!

way to go Russell, there has been lots of work done on the site and it is looking GREAT!!!
It'll be good to have you rest a bit now, go stare at the ocean for a bit my friend.

Excellent!
I'm not a fan of mambo, probably because my view is from the admin and maintenance side, however I like the submit materials and gallery features.
Looks good.
