Because vMaterials are built on MDL, they can be used as-is or modified and layered to create custom looks in custom materials. With MDL, adding dust and scratches to a material is just that: take the base vMaterials and add a dust layer over a scratch layer. You can easily export your custom materials with just a few steps to transfer physically based materials seamlessly between applications.
NVIDIA's vMaterials catalog is a collection of real-world materials described in the NVIDIA Material Definition Language (MDL). They're designed and verified by NVIDIA Material Specialists for accuracy, control, and consistency, giving you a quick and reliable way to add realistic materials to your designs. Easily browse, change, and adjust materials to get just the look that's needed within your supported applications. While vMaterials are the perfect addition to Iray Rendering Plug-In products, they can be used in any application that supports NVIDIA MDL.
