DirectX Sub Shader Not previewing

[Anonymous]

I am creating a fairly basic Material plugin for max to allow the entry of additional parameters and the ownership of a DirectX sub material using the Mtl or SubMat2 classes (tried both). Everything is working correctly except that the DirectX sub material will not render in the view-port, rather the associated "Standard Material" is being rendered.

What interfaces do I need to override and implement in order to allow the DirectX sub material to be rendered in the view-ports?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Did you subclass the Mtl::GetActiveTexmap() function ?

David Lanier,

Thank you very much for getting back to me. Forgive me but I don't understand how I can subclass the function since it is not virtual in the base class Mtl. I have included a stripped down version of the plugin I am working on. Hopefully this will allow someone to point me to the very simple mistake that I am probably making, since this is the first plugin I am developing for Max.

Thank you very much,
Chris
