• MtlSingleBRDF - The main material type that needs to be connected to Node::material.
• Mtl2Sided - Defines a (possibly different) material for the back side of triangles, as well as the front sides.
• MtlMulti - Use this together with GeomStaticMesh::face_mtlIDs to set different materials for subsets of triangles on one geometric object.
• MtlVRmat - Load a V-Ray shader from a .vrmat (formerly .vismat) file. Also supports loading MtlSingleBRDF materials from vrscene files. This is used for transferring materials between different host applications.
• MtlGLSL - Loads a GLSL shader from file and provides some parameters for it.
• MtlOSL - Loads an OSL shader from file and provides some parameters for it.
• MtlRoundEdges - Smooths sharp edges within a given radius by modifying normals.

Some advanced materials:

• BRDFVRayMtl - The one BRDF plugin to rule them all. Combines all of the following except Cook-Torrance (not all at the same time - you choose a type). This is the preferred choice for most cases.

  Info
  See VRayMtl page for info on the different BRDF types.

• BRDFBlinn - The Blinn BRDF model for glossy highlights. See See Wikipedia article.
• BRDFCookTorrance - The Cook-Torrance BRDF model for glossy highlights. See Wikipedia.
• BRDFGGX - The new GGX (microfacet GTR) BRDF model for glossy highlights.
• BRDFPhong - The Phong BRDF model for glossy highlights. See Wikipedia article.
• BRDFWard - The Ward BRDF model for glossy highlights. See Wikipedia.
• BRDFDiffuse - A basic diffuse BRDF.
• BRDFGlass - A basic refractive BRDF.
• BRDFGlassGlossy - An extension of BRDFGlass that enables glossy refraction, meaning that rays with equal incoming angle refract at slightly different angles.
• BRDFLight - Self-illumination BRDF. Consider using LightMesh instead.
• BRDFMirror - A basic specular reflection BRDF.
  
  
• BRDFLayered - A weighted combination of any number of BRDF plugins. (This is also known as Blend material in the UI of V-Ray for 3dsMax and Maya.)
