Setting custom material libs as default (Max 9)
Hi, everyone!
I used to have a custom matlib set as the default library for max 8, so every time I started Max the Material Editor would come already populated with my materials (in my case, custom VRay stuff). I did that creating a new Default with a custom made medit.mat file, which was easy and worked like a charm. After we upgraded to Max 9, I did the same but it simply doesn't work. Does anybody know how to do that? Tks! |

That's interesting. I had the same thing in earlier versions but I just saved it as "3dsmax.mat" and it would work. Now in Max 9, it doesn't load up as the default.

Nevermind. I figured it out. Go to the "defaults\max" directory and replace the medit.mat library there with your own library.

Re: Setting custom material libs as default (Max 9)
That's what I used to do, but it doesn't seem to work now. Not sure if it's because of the new directory structure (inside My Documents)... Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to modify the INI file to load up at least with all materials already VRayMtl...

Re: Setting custom material libs as default (Max 9)
If you want to get into it, you can change Max to use the regular directories (program files/autodesk/max 9) instead of the my documents directory. There is an ini file called "installsettings.ini" that has a line "useuserprofiles" set it to 0 and it will use the old directory settings. But you'll have to redo or copy any customization you've already done.
I have mine setup this way and the medit.mat works. |
