--- title: "MaterialX Supported Features" canonical: "https://documentation.chaos.com/space/VMAYA/111738887/MaterialX%20Supported%20Features" format: markdown --- This page provides information on the supported features with MaterialX in V-Ray for Maya. ## **Overview** --- MaterialX is an open-source standard for representing shading networks. MaterialX shading networks can be used across different applications and renderers. V-Ray offers the [VRayMaterialX](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VMAYA/pages/111740372) node that loads .mtlx files to render.  ## **Supported Nodes** --- | **Category** | **MtlX Shader
