Hi,
I downloaded a wood material from your amazing wood collection and made some small changes to it. As such I tried to save it to my library for future use, however, the preview of the material does not render and is black (image attached). I am using the latest version of Corona 10, on Mac Ventura and Corona Renderer is selected as a render engine. Dragging the Chaos material into my personal folder is black, as the icon on the right illustrates.
Can you assist me and explain how I might fix this issue? I logged this issue with your tech team.
Thank you

Hi there,
Have you tried first consolidating the textures (assets) to your "tex" folder and then moving it to your personal library/folder?
I'm assuming you're using the C4D's built-in asset browser, correct?
Additionally, does the material come from the Corona Material Library? Or is it a Cosmos asset?
Kind regards.

Hi,
The material comes from the Chaos Libary.

Hi there, is this from the Cosmos asset browser or the material library? I cannot find a material called ''Wood_01_mtl''. Thanks.

Ahh, I get it. Currently, the only workaround is to do a quick render and copy it to the clipboard, right-click on the asset and choose ''show details'', you can then right-click on the preview and choose ''Update preview from clipboard''.

This has already been reported.
I hope that helps.
