I am curious about the possibility to support DirectX shaders from Max into the exported scenes. Is this feasible?

Hi,
unfortunately it’s not possible since the current version of the browser’s 3D technology (named WebGL) supports OpenGL ES shaders only. There are some discussions about the future 3D web standard, maybe it will support HLSL (the language used along with DirectX). We’ll see!

I see.

One thing I’d like to see is support for converting these materials when exported:
- Blend Material
- DirectX Shader using the StandardFX11.fx that comes with Max.
It would be nice if the converter could at least turn these two types into OpenGL shaders .

Thanks for the suggestion. Blend material is already in our TODO list, regarding DirectX we need to think about it :)

Thanks Alexander. I understand that supporting any/all DX Shaders may be too much. But I think that it wouldn’t be too much to support at least the specific one that Max defaults to as it is similar enough to the parameters supported with a Standard material.
