Bumping into it again and again... all emitters previews (the typical, I mean, 50W, 100W etc.) look the same (white circle...).
I wish that the material editor will recognize a typical emitter and add the value imprint on that circle.
AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADD UNICODE SUPPORT.

Which circle? You have specific preview scenes to preview emitters if that's what you mean.

oh just create a new MXM and make it a simple emitter , like a white 200W. the preview of it will be a white circle.
like the preview of a 100W or 400W...
now when you have lots of this and sometimes I duplicate a material but need to change only it's power - I get lots of white circles in Maya's hypershade...
all begin with "max..." (Maya's short description for maxwellmaterialXX) and look the same.

Can't you run the previews again but with the emitter preview scenes? There should be an option in the Maya plugin to choose which preview scene is used.

gonna try that.
