embedding maps in fbx file usauly will pass out an error when importing

I embed maps for blender with no problems.
I also include a folder with all the texture maps so they can apply these how they need for other software so I advise to do both.

I have here a method that you can use to export PBR maps from 3dsmax to FBX for blender to read correctly without any intervention.

https://www.jamesvella.net/blog/2020/4/25/pbr-3dsmax-to-blender

to include maps in blender:
File > External Data > Automatically pack into blend file

Materials:
They need to be 3dsmax standard materials, not arch design. Follow the tutorial I put above and you will have parity.

doesnt matter what 3d program you use, PBR is just texture maps. These are supported by the render engine not the 3D software, any 3D software can use PBR workflow if the render engine supports it.

I use Vray and Corona. But there are many more render engines that support this.

how does map match from subsrance designer to 3ds max. ..... how do use the same enviroenment map ..are importing environemnt map into sub designer ////to make sure match in a max

I have written all this here if you are interested:

I recommend you read the long version first.

Short version:
https://www.jamesvella.net/blog/2020/4/25/pbr-textures-for-3dsmax-vraycorona-the-short-guide

if you are still confused, i will write a mini version here for you as well:

- In substance designer/painter you are using a HDRI for your environment, locate this and use this same hdri in 3dsmax, make sure its aligned the same from the camera perspective.
- diffuse/reflection maps are gamma 2.2, everthing else you will need to overrite the import gamma to 1.0
- if you use roughness workflow, use diffuse, metallic, roughness, normals
- if you use glossiness workflow you need, diffuse, glossiness, reflection, normals, 1/ior,
- you dont need metallic, ior or reflection maps if you are making a dialectric material.
- roughness is the best workflow for vray/blender
- glossiness is the best workflow for corona.
- using this information these textures will apply to any software of your choice, as long as that render engine supports PBR. C4D, Blender and Game engines use Roughness workflow, this is much easier to work with and I suggest if you already have issues stick with this, dont worry about glossiness workflow.

if your rending fbx material in 3ds max to give th same result in blender ( cycles) that the standard render engine what the render results looking like in mx are they looking as the vray renders

so if you are interested the workflow is like this...

In substance I output these maps:
https://ibb.co/yWTSdnP

for my customers I create two variations:
vray_roughness
vray_glossiness
cororna (which is glossiness)

You can use the above information to understand the maps that go into these.

Now I want to create an FBX/OBJ file, but these only use standard maps right?

So I make a standard material, I copy all the images I have used for the Roughness workflow and put them into my standard material, as per the blender tutorial above. Co-incidentally this material works perfectly for export to FBX and OBJ.

I import this into blender, I dont need to do any adjustments. The material works perfectly for evee and cycles.
I import this into c4d, I need to use this base material and change it to physically based material, a little bit of manual work but atleast it imports with the textures so less work involved, still need to refine the process a bit for c4d but half the work is done in the FBX...

this is workflow.
