3DS Max Trial version doesn't come with all the materials that we use in this chapter. Hence we are providing a small work-around so that you can still continue with the tutorial without much difficulty. Here goes what you need to do.

When ever you see a new material's name in the tutorial, which you can't find in your material library, select a new unused spherical slot in the material editor. Then open the Maps roll out, within the material editor. Now when you come across a new material like Reflection_Chromic, you will also see extra information like (Chromic.jpg > Reflection map:100 | Anisotropic, Specular: 90, Glossiness: 40, Anisotropy: 50).

First download the image file by clicking on the link and save it somewhere within your scene file's folder. Now within the maps rollout, click on the button marked 'None' next to the map specified (in our example Reflection map). It will open up a browser. Choose New as Browse From and double click on Bitmap from the items on the right side. From the file chooser that appears, select the downloaded image file. Enter the value specified (in our example 100 ) beside the map's Amount parameter. There may be multiple images with their map and amount value mentioned and will be seperated by commas. After the maps, there will be a pipe symbol '|'. What ever follows will be the material's general parameters. First one will tell which type of material it is (blinn, anisotropic etc). Make the changes in the corresponding fields in the material editor. I think that needs no explanation.

You can use the newly created material for the scene. Please note that I may not have suggested all the parameters of the material and hence the material that you create might appear slightly different from that given in the illustrations. It won't make much difference and so please dont worry.
