How can I save a Material Editor Sample Slot configuration?

[Michael J. Brown]

I tried searching this one out, but found no succesful solutions.

 

I've got all my most commonly used materials configured in the sample slots. I want to save this "state" to be re-used each time I start a new project. How do I go about saving this material sample slot arrangement, and likewise calling it back up?

Not sure it works for mat editor. However create a file called maxstart and set this up with all your default settings and save. Whenever you load max it will use this file as a template.

 

 

Sorry just tried it and that doesn't work

There's a default material editor file that you can save it as. It's called "medit.mat" and you save it in the \defaults\MAX\ directory (at least in mine)

DISCO! :D

 

Thanks, Chad. I tried this before, but I guess I must have not saved the .mat to the right location. So instead, this time I did a search for every medit.mat file on my system and just over-wrote each of them to make sure I got the right one(6 or 7 locations)
