Solved: dDo Material ID "Links" button not showing

Stu2Prof

Hi
I am using quixel Suite 2.0 with Adobe Photoshop CS4.
I am looking at the following Quixel tutorial where a "Links" button is appearing beside the Material ID section.

I have tried this myself and am not seeing any button. I have tried right-clicking as well but that only opens a box to import a replacement material. I have tested this with TGA and PNG files. Can someone assist? 

What I am seeing on my desktop:


Thank you for any time you spare

Hey Studtoprof - this is a tutorial for Suite 1.8. The workflow has changed a bit since then. You'll assign groups and individual layers to color IDs by pressing and holding C in 3DO and clicking on the desired color. You can assign a new material with this method as well by holding SHIFT with C, and then clicking on a color ID. The smart material browser will open and you can pick the desired appearance of that ID.

It's also possible to assign IDs from DynaMask, although it's significantly faster to assign materials directly in the 3DO viewport.

Try out the new Suite 2 Workflow Primer - it should cover this and way more!
