On 3ds max 2021 we had important improvements on viewport and on OSL, this allow us a lot of flexibility with HDRI images displayed directly on viewport for lookdev. It also comes with preload HDRI images.
I created a series of tools to take advantage of this new options in max. One is a helper where you can select different HDRI images, adjust intensity, contrast, blur.
The other is similar just with controllers directly on viewport, I think less "cool" but more useful for the day to day work.
Finally I added my own OSL configuration for Slate material, with this one I am faster looking for my OSL nodes, since they are on less subcategories.
I share all this with my patreons: patreon.com/EloiAndaluz
