[Closed] access material browser various libraries

Nov 18, 2011 10:08 am

Hello every one,

How do you access the various material libraries that you may have opened in the map/material browser ? Do you acces them as external libraies ? As far as I understand, the documentation only mention the “current material libray” which doesn’t seems relevent since max 2011 (10 ?)

Thanks for any input !

I think Autodesk have just removed the need to load the material libraries manually, ie. when you select material library in the map/material browser Max sets that one to current material library. AFAIK you still access them as external libraries in mxs.

MatLibPath = ((getDir #matlib)+"\\MyMaterials.mat")
loadMaterialLibrary (MatLibPath)

obj.material = currentMateriallibrary["myMaterial"]
