• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi all! I have an issue in 3ds Max 2021. The probel is the Prepar3D PBR Material Slate isn't there. The normal Prepar3D Material is.. I have configured the path to the SDK as usual.

When I load the Oil Rig from the 3ds max example, I then do have the Prepar3D PBR Material Slate..

Why is this?

Ive never used the Slate version. Have you tried the basic Materials window to see what it shows? Maybe they just didnt make a Slate version of the material layout.
 
Bit of an old thread, but in case other people have this same issue and find this thread, the issue is that newer versions of 3DS Max default to the new Arnold renderer instead of the older renderer, and the Arnold renderer does not have the Prepar3D shader. It can be fixed by going to Renderer in the topbar, then Render Setup, then selecting the Renderer dropdown menu and selecting Scanline Renderer.
