Glass2MDL: glazing data sheets into Iray materials
A focused web tool that converts manufacturer glazing performance values into NVIDIA MDL materials for Iray in 3ds Max.
Field notes
The workflow distinguishes openings modeled as single planes from assemblies built as real solid lites, where reflections can stack across the insulated glazing unit. Users can model one, two, or three lites, add numbered-surface coatings and frit, and account for tempering-related roller wave. The page reports a fit check and calculates absorption from the three entered visible-light values. Solid-lite users also receive a Python script intended to automate material assignments.
