RSMaxUsd

max plugins for importing and exporting redshift USD data.

Handles materials, lights, proxys, volumes export and import.

Install instructions

  1. Install the latest max usd plugin (tested on usd 0.7 and redshift 3.6)
  2. Clone into your autodesk application plugins folder: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins
  3. Copy the files from:
    C:\ProgramData\Redshift\Plugins\Solaris<LatestVerison>\RSHydraSchemas\resources into:
    C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\RSMaxUsd\Contents\Scripts\resources

What can this do?

  • export rs materials, maps and shader graphs
  • import rs materials, maps and shader graphs from usd into max
  • export rs lights as usd lights.
  • import usd lights as redshift lights.
  • export rs proxies
  • import rs proxies
  • export rs Volumes to UsdVolume
  • import rs volumes from UsdVolume (with shaders)
  • export rs mesh params and object properties
  • import rs mesh params and object properties
  • exports redshift render settings (WIP)
  • materials, lights, Volumes and proxies exported will render within the redshift hydra delegate in solaris.

Limitations

  • only supports rs nodes + (max composite, max vertex color and gradient ramp)
  • some nodes will not appear in hydra due to extreme differences between the max and houdini versions. (rs state being an example)
  • rs bitmap is converted to rs texture
  • ramp UI inputs are not supported (effects rs brick)
  • legacy rs nodes are not supported (rs material, rs normal etc)
  • displacement export from blend materials is not yet supported.
