Basically im using a rendermap for standard materials, but it doesnt work with dx9 shaders, i need to find a way to access the material so i can create a randermap.

Cheers

There isn't really a concept of a 'diffuse channel' in shaders. There are what's called texture samplers. An easy way to find bitmaps in a DX9 shader in Max is to do something like this:



mat = $.material

for p in (getPropNames mat.delegate) do (prop = getProperty mat.delegate p
if classof prop == Bitmap do (-- Do something here
)
)
