I want to let everyone know that I have posted my MAXShade Shading Language plugin for 3dsmax as an open-sourced project. MAXShade is a sub-set of the RenderMan shading language, which works as 3dsmax materials, textures, or render effects. It’s free to anyone who wants to use it. You can find it at:
