It's a node based material editor for the 3dsMax.

seems like they are very early in development but I love the concept. From what I understand of maya (which is very little) theirs is a node based system which gives them great flexibility in the materials. 3ds max is a bit clunky but if you know it well enough you can work out most 'effects.' Be nice to see this developed further.

thanks for the heads-up Sandy
