Notes:

The AxF Plugins for V-Ray add support for X-Rite’s Appearance eXchange File (AxF) format in Chaosgroup’s V-Ray for 3ds Max and V-Ray for Maya products. 

After installation there will be a new material type called “Axf Material” in the Hypershade module of Autodesk Maya under the V-Ray material selection. In some cases you might need to activate loading the plugin manually using Maya’s Plug-in Manager (menu ‘Windows/Settings Preferences’). Additionally, there will be also a new 2D Texture type called “Axf Texture” which allows to directly access an AxF texture layer.  

In Autodesk 3ds Max a new material type called “AxFMaterial” is created in the material editor under the V-Ray material selection. There is also a new map type “AxFTexture” available under the V-Ray map selection. 

The PlugIns supports all AxF versions up to AxF v1.9. It supports all AxF v1.9 representation types and extensions including BTF, CPA2, (EP)-SVBRDF, and VOLUMETRIC.
