Hi all


A short question ... It´s possible to visualize the maxwell materials in the content browser of C4D ? The materials are visualized after draging it into the C4D-material libarary. But i want to recognize it visuell in the content browser before draging.


Best,
Thomas

I don't know how it works in C4D but if I switch to thumbnail view while in the browser for Sketchup I can do this -- since JD wrote both plugins it seems reasonable that they would work similarly.

Best,
Jason.

I checked it again , it doesnt´t work in C4D. I only have the preview, when i copied it to the C4D library.
Thank you.

Sorry, but it's not possible to show MXM previews in the Content Browser, due to a Cinema limitation. However, it is possible to import MXM files from MXED's Browser tab, or from Explorer/Finder, by dragging and dropping MXM files (or MXS files, or folders containing MXM and/or MXS files) onto the material preview image in either the plugin material editor, or the Attribute Manager.
