Hi i recently got corona for cinmea 4d. and have downloaded some materials from the coronal materials website.
when i download them they come up as cinema 4d project files and they look great in there but when i try to save the materials to use in another project they don't save properly and only save the color.
is there a way to save these materials to use in the content browser?

Using Content Browser create New Preset Library (name to your liking).
Then it's simple "Drag&Drop" materials from Material manager into that window.

Note about texture maps - need be statically defined/located/stored!
Plan well ;)

If you have all you textures lying on a server and don't want C4D to create a "tex" folder then simply hold "Alt" while dragging it into the content browser. It will use the original texture maps path.
