Material Library Path

[THExDUKE]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to change the texture path for the material library? For the Chaos Cosmos it is possible to set a global link, available for all users, the material library only saves its textures locally. It would be great if this would be changeable.

A tip is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for posting. What version of V-Ray are you using? The material library is replaced with Cosmos Browser in V-Ray 6 and newer. From the docs:

n V-Ray 6, the V-Ray Material Library Browser is replaced by the Chaos Cosmos Browser. Please use the materials from the Chaos Cosmos Browser for any new projects.

If the V-Ray Material Library folder has not been downloaded with a previous V-Ray version and its folder is empty, clicking on the V-Ray Material Library Browser button from the V-Ray toolbar opens Chaos Cosmos Browser. The mtllib.exe tool is still available and downloads the V-Ray Material Library.

Please check this documentation page - https://docs.chaos.com/display/VMAYA...ibrary+Browser

The materials from the material library are moved to Cosmos so they are the same and also there are new added.
You can still use the material library but you may need to download the materials manually.
