Material Creation Tutorial?

Hi
I want to create a sandstone material. I'd like to make a good job of it but I have no experience of material creation in any 3D app. I'm not stupid either and understand most of the concepts involved.
Is there any guidance out there for creating Maxwell Materials?
TIA

The Maxwell manual is a good start
No, seriously.....you also have numerous tutorials in this forum and also on the maxwellrender.com site. There is also a pdf
here explaining some of the theory behing Maxwells material system.

And download some mxm's from the mxm site and slice them apart and find out how they're done and learn by doing so.

so far the best way to learn after reading what Mihai propose you to "at least" know what you're doing, you know... the conceptual things...
good work (no luke here ^^)

finally, you could:
1. post pictures of what you're trying to achieve (ref. pictures),
2. post the textures that you're using and your mxm
3. and some renderings showing how far you're.
