:wavey: Hi! Donīt expect any big problem here. :)


When Iīm exporting my materials to library and then look at it I see just default "Maya" swatches.
OK, Iīve discovered the RenderView/View/Grab Swatch to Hypershade button. I used it to make my recent lava material nice lava sample swatch.

But if I export this material and look into my Material Library Tab, there that "Maya" swatch again.

Anyone who knows how to add custom swatches to library? Because it just looks sooo nice, and itīs organized well.

stunndman, I was looking for it in Maya FAQ and Maya MEL forum and just canīt find it (btw, you seem to be a MEL fan :-)

if you remember, where you saw it, please drop me a line, thnX!

(though I could survive without it, but it would be so cute!)

Select grab swatch. It will tell you on the bottom of the renderview to drag a selection border on the rendered image, then you MMB drag the selection on top of the shader in hypershade.
