Having spent many hours changing the names of textures (such as C.jpg, A.jpg, bump.jpg, etc) to a material specific name to avoid problems where an already installed material already uses such named textures - I was wondering if there was a smarter way to set up materials for Maxwell Studio.
I understand I can use separate folders with all the files for the material within it, but this would mean that I couldn't then see the preview of the material in the Material Browser.
Do I keep spending the hours renaming numerous textures and updating mxm files to reflect such changes (turning generic texture names into specific names that contain the material name to avoid duplication)...... or do I do something else?
Any advice much appreciated.
