Mainly, the only thing I've done here is I've inverted the glossiness, so that I can directly compare the actual roughness as seen here to the baked version. So, we're going to be exporting to a physically based material, which is called PBR, and it's new in 3ds Max. It's a simplified version of the physical material that's set up to emulate the behavior of game engines and real-time applications.
