-- customize preview thumbs (material browser)

#1

Hi,
in my spare time I written a tiny application (Mac INTEL/PC) to update the preview thumb in the material browser (MODO 202).

In this way I can customize the preview in different way:

  • standard render scene (high resolution)
  • composition of different scene (e.g.: half image with full light / half image with only a spot)
  • little text to remeber if apply to a material o to a group preset
  • tiny table with some hints about material …
  • little foto with my boring face with a teapot inside mouth :slight_smile:
  • …

u can find application here: http://www.keeboo.org/LXPThumbPatcher/index.html

How to use

  • prepare a 128x128 pixels image (png or jpg)
  • open the application
  • load the LXP material and the image
  • patch and save the material

It’s a beta, so use it at your own risk … :))
(simply make a copy of your material befor patching it)
