Integrated Material Browser

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Corona has no integrated Material Browser, right?

I guess this is low on the list of features compared to many others, but I was curious as to whether Corona will ever get a way to easily browse through the material database either with materials we download locally ( Maxwell or Arion ) or materials grabbed live off the net (like Octane does).

I feel that downloading materials imbedded in Max files is not as efficient as other solutions.  Perhaps a Corona material format or something would help.

If I'm mistaken on these points, please point me in the right direction.

It doesn't.

I use SigerShaders plugin to do this, it's currently aimed towards Vray, but works perfectly as a library only as well.  He is currently working on dedicated Corona version with commercial set of materials.
It's commercial plugin, but worth looking into. He has a thread in WIP section.

This is an option for the future, but a very distant one ;)
