The NVIDIA Material Definition Language (MDL)
is technology developed by NVIDIA
to define physically-based materials
for physically-based rendering solutions.

MDL is not a Shading Language
MDL defines what to compute, not how to compute it
– no programmable shading
– no light loops or access to illumination
– no trace call
– no sampling
– no camera dependence

MDL and RTX
• Anisotropic glossy reflections
• True refractive and volumetric materials
• Measured BRDF
• Proper translucency
• Complex glossy lobe shape and color
MDL materials make RTX shine!
Materials tricky for todays game engines become feasible with RTX
![Page 74: Sharing Physically Based Materials Between Renderers with MDL · 2019-03-29 · Jan Jordan Software Product Manager MDL Lutz Kettner Director Advanced Rendering and Materials Sharing](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060502/5f1bb271ed257060255fb6ac/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)

MDL SDK and RTX
Microsoft DXR
• HLSL back-end with MDL SDK 2019.0.1and sample path tracer in the SDK
NVIDIA OptiX
• PTX back-end since MDL SDK 2018.1sample program available as part of Optix 5.1 & 6
Integrating MDL with an RTX based renderer is simple!
The MDL SDK directly generates material code for use in RTX enabled renderer
