Or are you looking for the scene file within the app?
I'd also like to know about this

Hi! The scene file is not saved anywhere. We just take the selected material preview scene, take the object named "Object" or "object" from it, add the checkered background and some lights and render it! This way, you can use your custom or third-party preview scenes. For example, I just tried V-Ray material preview scenes and Corona can use them without any trouble.

hello houska, thanks for your comment. I made a matprev of my own now and safed it to the materialpreview folder of the library, which is working !
Would it be possible to have own rendersettings as well to control GI mode p.e. ?
