Hey,
Does anyone knows if it is possible to replace that sphere in the material editor preview slot with a simple bitmap image? I’m doing a custom material here and i want to render a preview bitmap and put it into mat editor slot. I found no info about this from help files so i’m not sure if it can be done at all.
Any feedback would be kindly appreciated!!
Thanks!

this can be done only (AFAIK) by implementing your own renderer. That is, by deriving from class Renderer. Max will call your specialized render() function when it needs to render either the scene, or a material slot (which is like a mini scene).
