Fantastic! Now we can finally move the entire workflow onto MAX2023 and forget about the outdated MAX9. Great work. Also it seems like some people cannot use the W3D materials. So I tried to replicate those shaders with pure HLSL code, which both MAX2023 viewport and the W3X export plugin can use (haven't tested on W3D, but for W3X they work.) They function very similar to those in MAX9, but remember to switch your viewport driver to DX 9 or legacy. https://github.com/NordlichtS/W3X-RA3-shaders-for-max2023/
