Adding corona material to library and scene

[Clockwork_Robot]

Hi all,

Apologies for the novice question but I have only just discovered Corona and 3ds max so I am still getting to grips with the software. I am absolutely amazed by the results one can achieve through the renderer however I seem to be having difficulty addding materials to my library. I recently downloaded the a concrete material off the corona materials website but when I download the file all I have is a few jpegs and the 3ds max file  is there anyway to properly add it to the materials library?

Kind regards,

I would recommend Siger CMPP, not only it has hundreds of materials but the library-system is just awesome.
I have specific materials for different clients and I have made library folders for each client, then when I get
something to render I just open CMPP and drag´n´drop materials.
Easy as 1-2-3.

It can save anything from the 3dsmax material library material slot.

Also if you import a lot of materials from your scene to the CMPP user library, you render previews quite easily.
I use my farm computers to make the previews.

I bought it because of the materials but I would say the user library is the one I use the most.

Here is also a guide on using the materials downloaded from our resources section (https://corona-renderer.com/resources/materials):

Hi all,

Thank you all so much for your help, it can get a bit tricky trying to wrap my head around all the different parameters. So I downloaded the texture and opened the .3ds max file and then dropped the material into the slate editor. I noticed the bitmaps were missing so I reloaded them into the tree. Is there anything else that needs to be done? I'm currently testing the material on a basic teapot shape https://imgur.com/1Fdk0Dg
