MultiTexture allows you to randomly assign multiple wood or tile images to the individual boards created by FloorGenerator. MultiTexture - CG-Source
Under the Random Available Texture panel, fine-tune the sliders for (e.g., +/- 1.0) and Saturation (e.g., +/- 3.0) to softly differentiate the boards. Apply the master material to your FloorGenerator object.

Next, the gallery corridors needed variety but consistency. Using FloorGenerator, Eli created tiling stone patterns for a few corridor variants—hex tiles for the contemporary wing, staggered slate for the modern-art hallway, and large flagstone for the natural-history entrance. He exported masks for each variant, then returned to MultiTexture 2.04 to unify them. By using the exported masks as blending masks, he could reuse the same base material layers while allowing the tiles’ unique surface features to show through.
While the free version of FloorGenerator is limited to standard parallel layouts, the commercial version unlocks premium layout geometric configurations: FloorGenerator Full 2.10 And MultiTexture 2.04 ...
FloorGenerator Full 2.10 and MultiTexture 2.04 are essential plugins for 3ds Max, widely considered the industry standard for creating realistic architectural flooring, tiling, and wall cladding.
Fully compatible with industry-standard render engines including V-Ray, Corona Renderer, and Arnold (with "Legacy 3ds Max Map support" active). Installation and Workflow Guide 1. How to Install the Plugins
Generates physical polygonal faces; requires RAM for heavy scenes. MultiTexture allows you to randomly assign multiple wood
MultiTexture is a map plugin that loads multiple bitmaps and assigns them randomly to the geometry created by FloorGenerator, either by object or by material ID. FloorGenerator - CG-Source
A map/texture manager that distributes multiple bitmaps randomly or via rules across instances, ideal for breaking repetitiveness in floors, siding, tiles, or any repeated object.
Set an Extrude depth (e.g., 1.0cm) and a minor Bevel value (e.g., 0.1cm) to break sharp geometric edges. 3. Shading with MultiTexture Comparison: FloorGenerator vs
Performance was a concern for the real-time walkthrough. Eli baked combined maps where possible. He used FloorGenerator’s low-frequency masks to inform ambient occlusion and cavity maps, then combined those with MultiTexture’s optimized packed textures: albedo in RGB, roughness in the alpha, and a packed normal detail on a secondary map. The result reduced shader switches and texture lookups while preserving the detailed feel.
Eliminates the "tiled" look of textures, crucial for close-up shots. How to Install and Use the Pair Together
