[Closed] Fill the mat editor w/VR mats?

Or you can save this code as *.ms and place in maxroot>Scripts>Startup folder.

 -- uncomment next line if you not want different randomization on every startup
 --seed 0
for m in 1 to meditMaterials.count do 
( 
	meditMaterials[m] = VRayMtl diffuse:(random black white) \
	name:(if m < 10 then ("0"+m as string+" - VRay") else (m as string+" - VRay"))
)
 

If u like full saturated random colors

VRayMtl diffuse:(c = random black white ; c.s = 255 ; c)

The default state of the material editor comes from the Medit.mat in your Defaults folder. Save your desired materials in that file and it will be used for scene start, or Medit Reset.

FYI, cleaner code for the name is:

name:(formattedprint m format:"2.2d")

THANKS!

Hvala Branko and Eric!

I not suggest you to use startup script. Eric suggested better solution.
Try this:
#1 Use my code to randomize diffuse colors of VRayMtl’s in the Material Editor or create your custom mtl’s.
#2 Save Material Library file using name “matlib” in folder:
max2014 -> [b] 3ds Max 2014\en-US\defaults\MAX\FactoryDefaults[/b]
or if you use later versions then:
max2012 -> [b]3ds Max 2012\Defaults\MAX\FactoryDefaults[/b]
NOTE: before you save mtl Library, rename file that already exist in theses folder (if you want backup default file later)

Thanks Gazibara!
