This page provides information about creating materials from plugin with VRayPluginNodeMtl.
Overview
VRayPluginMtl allows you to create a material from V-Ray Standalone material plugin that comes with the V-Ray installation. This ensures that all VRayPluginMtl materials will work with V-Ray Standalone and there will be no difference in fine details like noise seed and others. Furthermore, it gives you access to a lot of handy plugins used by V-Ray throughout different platforms.
There are two general types of plugins available in VRayPluginNodeMtl - BRDF plugins and Mtl plugins. Usually BRDF plugins can be used by themselves, while Mtl plugins expect BRDF plugins or other Mtl plugins as inputs.
For example, BRDFGlass can be created and assigned to an object by itself, but Mtl2Sided will expect other BRDF or Mtl plugins to be specified as its front and back materials.
