To install, just unzip the file onto your desktop. Use the material types for simple, non textured materials, and the library for photographic texture materials.

The library is designed to complement the new material types - so it’s not full of “green plastic, blue plastic, red plastic” type materials. The materials are all real-world scale, and they should drop onto real-world-scale objects and work without any modification or fuss. This will (hopefully) ensure the material previews work correctly inside Windows Explorer and the Library panel (and the file open dialog).

Please note that it will only work properly with the Rhino WIP we released last night, so make sure you have an up-to-date Rhino WIP and that you have restarted after installation. The “in-progress” version of the library is here: The library will ship in place of the small library that currently shows up when you add a new material in V5, and will include something like 1000 materials. To navigate the list, use the Up and Down arrows at the top and bottom of the list, or scroll up and down the list using your mouse wheel.We are in the process of building a new material library for Rhino WIP. In some cases, the list of materials can be too long to be displayed all at once. Then, click the material image to view the results returned by the search.

To search for materials, select the Search mode, type the full or partial name of the material and press Enter.

Then, click the material image to open the list of materials in the chosen category.

To browse materials by category, make sure the Categories mode is selected and choose the required category in the list.

You can browse the materials in the library by category, or search for materials by name. In the Blender Properties editor, switch to the Material tab.Įxpand the Material Library Browser panel. Make sure that AMD Radeon ProRender is set as the active render engine in Blender.įor details, see Switching to Radeon ProRender for Blender. To browse the Material Library in Blender:
