What is material editor in 3ds Max?
What is material in 3ds Max? What is VRAY material? And now I've got a preview of Glossy Paint. If I want a larger preview, I can right click on that sample and choose Open Preview Window. And then this is a free floating window that I can resize to whatever size I want or dock to someplace on the Slate Material Editor. So I'll dock it up here above the Material Map Browser by dragging and dropping it onto that arrow. And now its size will be determined by the width of that browser. Okay, and additionally just for fun, we can cause this sample to follow the current selection. So if I have multiple nodes here, whatever I have selected will be displayed. So I can go here in this pull down list and choose Follow Current Selection.What is material library?
Now let's make another material similar to this one. Click on that node and then hold down the Shift key and drag to make a duplicate. And then double click the duplicate to load its parameters. Go over to the Presets and try a different preset. Matte Paint. And we can see they're very similar except the Glossy Paint has a shiny highlight and the Matte Paint has a very soft highlight. Otherwise, they're the same. And if we click off of those and click back on them, then we can see this Physical Material preview update. So we can just toggle between those two and wait for a second for that to update.
