Now because Bitmap2Material is just a substance archive, one that is typically running inside the substance player, we can use the Bitmap2Material node in any application that supports the use of published substance files, which is exactly what we're going to be doing inside 3ds Max. Now, if you would like to dig into using Bitmap2Material 3 as both a stand…
