Hi there. I decided to get this out now. I may add a couple of more ones when I have cooled down a bit :) There are at the moment 8 different tutorials on materials and how I define them and some tricks I do on various surface types. Some of them involves sculpting in Zbrush and some are only Max or even Photoshop only. So…
Meshes that have multiple Material ID's and multiple assigned materials in UDK have problems when the model is 're-imported'. I use FBX files (with multiple meshes in one file) And when I import the (updated) models again (in the same group and package in UDK, this will overwrite and effectively update the models), the…
Quixel Colors 1.2 script does not work right in 3ds max. When I apply the same material to different parts of mesh objects one by one then it creates additional sub-material instead of instancing of existing material. Another problem is that final Multi/Sub-Object material does not keep names of applied materials. Instead…

For example the objects in the scene are named like: Jeep_Engine Jeep_Tires Auto material script creates for all objects (Mat-"object's name"): Mat-Jeep_Engine Mat-Jeep_Tires And substance…

Where are custom materials stored locally so I can do some spring cleaning?

Hey guys, so im having an issue on my home PC.Every time I click to add a a material it takes 2-5 minutes to load up every material. This happens every time I want to choose a material
That's because you're applying Smart Materials with SHIFT+C+LMB. A custom material is a Material, not a Smart Material. :smile: Add a regular Material, select it from the Custom category, and then assign it in 3DO via C+LMB.
