Scene Manager :: Materials
The Materials tab simply holds a list of all of the materials contained in the current scene. These materials are all saved in the document
and may be edited in the Material Editor by double-clicking on their thumbnail. Many actions are available in this window’s context
menu:
the first group deals with creation of material s. New Material and New Emitter are self-
explanatory; Import MXM prompts you to browse to an MXM file for import; MXM
Gallery shows the Maxwell MXM Gallery Search dialog; Clone Material creates a copy
of the selected material (as does using drag/drop while holding down the CTRL key),
and Material Wizard brings up the plugin’s Material Wizard.
the second group deals with removing material s from the Scene.
the third group deals with material selection and assignment.
the fourth group allows you to work with plugin-specific material library files, which are
very convenient for packing up groups of material s into a single easy-to transport file
which is independent of the Scene.
the remaining items allow you to control how material thumbnails are drawn and
organized.
