Topic: [3ds Max] Material Library file request

[James Cannon]

Does anyone have a decent material library that can get a noob started?  I just need some general metals, general site materials... maybe some generic architectural materials...

If anyone has a material library file (*.mat) or a container scene with materials (however you keep them organized) that you are willing to share with me, it'd be -much- appreciated.

Just something to get me a leg up for some side-work.

False alarm.

Turns out there was either a user error or installation error and the material libraries that SHOULD have come installed with 3dsmax by default simply didn't get copied over.

I checked my 3dsmax installtion at home (from the same installer, even) and it had a bunch of .mat files that my work comp did not.

Problem solved.

I -thought- it seemed very odd that max did not come with any materials at all, lol.
