Creating configurator

Configurator is used to create multiple material variations for object. It allows viewer switch material while interacting.

Create material variations in 3ds Max (before upload to Viz4D)

Step 1: In 3dsMax, before upload to Viz4D

Use the material below for object that you want to create configurator:

• For Corona Renderer: use CoronaSelectMtl

• For V-Ray Renderer: use Morpher material or VRaySwitchMtl, but note that VRaySwitchMtl has a limit of 10 materials.

  

Both materials above have multiple material slots. When we transfer them to Viz4D, each material slot will be a material variation for configurator.

WARNING

Do not use the following maps: CoronaAo, VRayDirt, CoronaMultiMap, VRayMultiSubtex, and MultiTexture when assigning material to CoronaSelectMtl and Morpher. Because we do not currently support them for CoronaSelectMtl and Morpher material.

Step 2: After uploading, when the cloud processing is complete, in Viz4D Editor

• The material variations that are automatically transferred from 3dsMax are located here:

• Now, we need to pick object for configurator:

• (optional) Add info for material variation:
