Member SIgor Posted July 23, 2016 Member Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hi guys, here is my problem, when I download custom materials from your site from RESOURCES, after installing them, nothing is showing in the TAB manager under materials. What m I missing here? Regards, Igor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted July 23, 2016 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 There is only one material among them. Bricks, and after testing, the images are there but they are not setup as a smart material. You can create them as a smart material by click on the NEW icon and in the panel that pops up click the Color channel icon and locate the image map you want to use. This resource is nothing more than a folder with Brick images. Before PBR was implemented you would just see the images as flat thumbnails. There is no indication on that resource page that this is a Smart material pack. I'll tell Andrew to make sure they put some kind of note to clarify this, or just remove it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SIgor Posted July 23, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Thanks for clarifying that, I am pretty much new to 3D Coat so I didnt realize that. Thanks! Cheers, Igor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted July 23, 2016 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Here is a video showing that, but how you can quickly make the images from it a smart material http://www.screencast.com/t/KTTxKdtN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member SIgor Posted July 23, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 @AbnRanger, I have one more issue that I just cant solve. Look at the attachment please, now how can I remove those letters, what ever I do, that text always reappear there. But its just a case whit that one Smart Material, is it possible that I saved it somehow when I was editing that same material and now its somehow imbeded there. I really dont know how else I could explain this. Regards, Igor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted July 23, 2016 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 The Smart material has the text embedded in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted July 23, 2016 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 ...if so, you can remove the image map that has it on it, in the Smart Materials editor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SIgor Posted July 23, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Smart Material deleted: Smart Material Applyed on a new Layer with FILL TOOL Smart Material properties: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted July 23, 2016 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Have you tried hiding all the paint layers until you've isolate the one that may be causing this? One of them may have residual glossiness or metalness on it or something? Once you find which layer it is on, you can reduce the opacity of each channel, on that layer, there in the Layer panel. That's my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SIgor Posted July 23, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Is there a way to bring back defaul materials, or reset any changes that I made. Something is broken, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
