Material preview scene

[Tok_Tok]

Hello,

This might be a stupid question but I cannot find the material Simball anywhere. I mean the preview scene that is used in this video:

Thank you.

Hi, it is not available publicly. But we might share it at some point as such requests are popping up from time to time. :)

There is "a" simball available for free (not that one though) over at the third party http://coronamaterials.com/ in case that proves useful in the meantime :)

Thanks for the quick answers.

That is a weird looking simball.. not really what I'm after.

I'm a long Maxwell user and I'm hearing very good stuff about corona so I want to try it. The preview scene in 3ds max is not very useful to get a good idea on what the material will look like in your scene. The simball in the tut seems to work like a charm so I was hoping this was available to the users but unfortunately not yet. But I just thought of converting the Maxwell Render simbal scene to Corona, that wil probably work just fine. :)

I have another question, what is the best way to organize your material library? With Maxwell you have external files you can import in your scene but Corona seems to have them al embedded in 3ds Max files. How do you build your library?

Here's couple more shaderballs:

Thanks I'll try those as well. Maxwell's simball is outdated anyway.

I guess the material/map browser in 3ds Max can be used to manage the libraries. You can also use some 3rd party manager plugins such as:
