V-Ray & 3ds Max 2017 Windows 10 64-bit - Transparent objects

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Is there anyone who knows about V-Ray Materials?  I was watching this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs60MLjDGXM) tutorial and the tutor mentions choosing Standard, then V-Ray Material from the Materials Editor box to assign to a V-Ray plane.  However, I'm not given that choice (as you can see from the attached screen shot).

Is V-Ray Color or any of the other V-Ray choices something that I can apply to the V-Ray plane to help me create a transparent glass look to my object?  In the tutorial video it's a teapot, but I really would like to use this for my class project to create a diffused light effect in my scene for my Materials and Lighting course.

I've only just downloaded and installed the V-Ray demo for 3ds Max from the Chaos Group site this evening, but would like to purchase the full program to work in combination with my 3ds Max.  

Second question: does V-Ray work in MotionBuilder and Mudbox?

Thank you so much!! 🙂

Sincerely,

Crystal

for your second question:

import those objects ( mudbox and motion builder) to 3ds max, vray will work on that object
