Materials define the appearance of model surfaces. Vizible generates shader effects (e.g. bump, detail, specular) based on maps that are exported with the model from 3ds Max.

2) Multi/Sub-object materials containing Standard materials.
2) Multi/Sub-object materials containing Standard materials.
3) Shell materials with Standard materials in the "baked material" slot. A Shell material is comprised of an original material and a baked material and is used with texture baking. The original material can be of any type (e.g. VRay material). The baked material is what gets exported and used in Vizible, so that must be a Standard material.

Materials and Effects
Materials and Effects
Vizible uses maps stored in material slots to generate shader effects. See the Effects page for information on supported effects and how to set them up in 3ds Max. The following articles describe resources for getting textures and generating maps for effects:

Materials and Baking
Materials and Baking
The material setup for baking depends on whether you are producing a light map (lighting only) or a complete map (lighting + diffuse). With a light map, the scene should be setup with Standard materials since they will be exported and combined with the light map in Vizible. In the case of a complete map, the source materials are not used by Vizible. Only the baked output needs to be applied to a Standard material.
