Title: .mat support
Post by: Will on January 19, 2007, 08:01:14 PM
Hi,

I was wondering whether .mat would be supported in the release of Terragen 2. I ask this becuase I have some nice matrials that I made in VUE6 that I would like to use in terragen.

Regards,

Will

This is extremely unlikely I'm afraid. As far as I know .mat is a proprietary Vue texture format and aside from the obvious legal/licensing issues, there are also great technical hurdles to supporting it. The same is true of Vue .vob files, although fortunately they can often be exported as OBJ format objects, at least by Vue Infinite/xStream.

OK, I was just wondering since I saw it classified as a 3Dmax matiral file and was wondering about other implications. Thanks for the reply.

Regards,

Will
