ANSWERED: Load materials from arbitrary locations on system?

illYay

I created some custom materials and wanted to save them in my project folder so those materials can be saved to source control.

However, I see no way to load those materials. I didn't see a browse button anywhere. I have to copy them to the quixel materials folders for them to be usable.

Is there a way to do this and I missed it? If there's no way, then hopefully it's a quick feature that can make it into future versions.

Custom materials need to be stored in the "Custom" folder that per default is loaded when pressing the "save smart material" button. In that colder you can create whichever folder structure you want. Those materials will then appear under the "custom" tab in the smart material library. Perhaps we can add a "browse" button in the material browser as well, its a good idea!
