Xrite’s Color Munki allows for calibrating monitors and measuring spectral samples.  This is an excellent tool for measuring colors of materials and finishes for improved accuracy in computer renderings and simulations.

The measured color palettes can be exported from the Color Munki software as *.CxF files and read back in 3ds Max with the help of a script that I have developped.

The 3ds Max script can be downloaded here.  Simply run it from within 3ds Max using the Maxscript | Run command, browse to a CxF file and drag and drop colors in your materials from the color swatch of your choice.
