kbartlez Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 So we purchased MForge, and I have to say it's impressive in it's complexity. But I am starting to figure it out, having gone through all the tutorials and manual. But one question still persists, and I'm sure it's a really stupid answer. How do I access any of the presets that I've downloaded? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Houtzager Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Just put them into a folder into your Materials folder. Then you can access them in your materials palette and drag and drop them onto your object's materials sphere. Some several maps involved with them. The most "complex" shader ever made.

Tomas Egger Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ola Kbartlez, You have the Sample Projects which are in the EIAS3D Konkeptoine page and there have all kinds of Metals, you need to only to like a group in the specific Master Material. Example: And you can copy the Mforge Materials folder which you can find in the same EIAS3D Konkeptoine web page and drag to your EIAS 8 folder and place inside the EI Material folder, the when you open EIAS 8 and open the Materials Palette window, you will have several options to drag in your groups and render. Take a look: Fred Kuntz did a render of lots of Mforge materials if you need a guide: http://www.artimatio.../MForgePresets/ Feel free to message me Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbartlez Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Oh. Duh. I just realized that all a master material is a holding device for various attributes as well as texture maps and shaders. Now it's all so clear. Thank you! Also, thank you for the link to the samples. From the first reply, I went there, downloaded every jpg, and then made a handy contact sheet of them.
