Standard Material in Arnold 3ds - missing features/options/attributes

[Anonymous]

 Hi, 

It seems I have some kind of problem with the features/options in Standard Material for Arnold. I have attached pictures of how it appears in my 3ds and how it should be. I wonder why it is like this and how can I solve it or get around it. It's quite urgent, please help! Thank you.

Hello @Anonymous

Thanks for bringing your question to the forums, it looks like you are visiting as a new member to the 3DS Max forum. I want to extend a warm welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I'm curious, what version of 3DS Max are you using? Also, have you made sure to download the most recent version of Arnold? You can do so by opening up your render setup, and navigate to the Arnold renderer tab. If there is a new update for you to download, a download link should appear at the top of the toolbar, similar to this screenshot.

It looks like your Arnold attributes are re-ordered, but only the Sheen attribute is missing, is that correct? You can click the four dots on the far right corner of each attribute to re-order them. Lets see if updating your Arnold version adds the sheen attribute. 

Please let me know if this information helps!

First of all thanks for the warm welcome!

Yes! Installing the latest version of Arnold worked! Currently using 3ds max 2019. Can't believe I haven't noticed the update message.

Thank you so much!
