:: ENDLESS MATERIAL EDITOR..... HAPPY DAY'S ::

[natty]

I found this great little script today and thought i would share it.

Well basically max is restricted to 24 slots for your material's.. But not with this script... basically its endless with this baby... Happy days..

[natty]

Drag and drop it into your max viewport

[cocolas]

nice one, natty........

just I was making a conscious effort to use more and more multi/sub-object mats because of the limited amount of slots, this script comes around ....


good to have..


thanks,

Is that script for max6 only??.. it works very bad here on max5 two errors in 2 minutes.

suurland there must be some other script doing this on max5, I remember I used, look for it.

[natty]

yeah just for max 6 Thomas

[cocolas]

I was testing this and I run into some issues...was wondering if any of you have as well......
I'm using max 6 SP 1...

I can create new pages w/ mats...but if one of the pages has a simple bitmap in a mat slot, and not a standard mat (haven't tested with vray mats or other types) then the script errors saying it can't convert the "Bitmap" to a material.......it happens every time.

wonder if any of you trying this script haver run into this or run into any issues when using it w/ vray mats...

hot diggity dog!

EDIT: same issue here. not going to use it until that is resolved unfortunately...

[cocolas]

yeah...it just seems a bit too unstable/limited for production.......but it's a good idea...if only better implemented

Medit 48, this will add 23 new slots, the script is so simple that it will be possible to make some more.
This will use the trick that the first 23 mat will be placed as a multi material on the 24th slot. So I guess not endless solution.

I cant test with vray mats, so someone may try.
