Scene materials on another PC?

[Jonathan]

Having had recent hardware problems I have had to move my 3DS Max liscense to another PC. Within a scene I have all geometry but no materials. Is there a way to import all matetials that have been customised back into the editor?

Thanks

Yes.

 

In the material browser click on the "get material" button then click on material library and surf to your old file. Click on the old file (you'll need to choose MAX file from the drop down file format menu) and it will load all of the materials from that file in the material library window.
