It's in the standard 3ds max material editor. The default max material type is standard. Click on the standard button top right just below the material slot window. Here's where all the material types are listed. Just below half way you will see the ofusion materials.

Select the Ofusion material,
You will see a stack of technique slots, click on the top technique slot and pick technique,
In the technique section you get pass slots, pick the top one and select pass.

Here is where the majority of the business end of material creation is including your texture units stack.

Don't know how familiar you are with Ogre's material system, it's quite complicated, but Ofusion makes it pretty easy to get around without having to learn any programming :)

I installed the "autodesk 3ds max 9", but didn't find the material edit, the ofusion plugin is as follows in 3ds max:

Hi, Not all of ofusions functions are in the ofusion menu. Ofusion uses a lot of 3ds max's native UI and functions

Here's where the materials are, marked in the image below.

1) material editor button
2)material editor, click on button (standard is default)
3) this is where you choose your material type. I circled the Ofusion ones.
