Does DazStudio supports MaterialX? (either files or shaders)

whitemagus

Hi does anyone knows if DazStudio accepts MaterialX shaders? Can they be imported or loaded into the surfaces tab or libraries? 

Or is it there another option?

Nope... AFAIK. They use totally different "language" in terms of shader definition...

I have read that there is some code for MaterialX into MDL...

Oh.. if it provides converted MDL files, you may use Shader Mixer to build the shader and apply on the designated surface in DS and save as shader preset...

Ok, thanks Crosswind that helps.

Since code is not my strongest points, if anyone knows any tutorials on how to to this please let me know.
