Material Manager

Posted by on Aug 5, 2010 in 3D Studio Max | 5 comments

Here is another tool I made back in college which has been useful over the years. The reason I made this tool is because I was annoyed with the limit of only 24 material slots in the material editor, and the inefficiency of getting those materials in and out of the editor. If you wanted to get 24 materials into the material editor, you’d have to go pick them one at a time.

This tool gives you mass batch processing over your materials. You can press a single button and get a list of all the materials in your scene, select 24 all at once, and then press another button and they all are instantly transferred over into the material editor for you to work with.

The tool is compatible with material libraries. You can load several material libraries from a single directory all at once, and then export them all back out to a single library if wanted. There is also a material renaming tool, quick renaming utility which just renames them to the same name as the object they’re assigned to, as well as other useful quick tools.
