Import Quixel Material

When you try to import material downloaded from Quixel, 3DCoat it is expecting a zip file, however the new downloaded Quixel material is not a zip file.

Now inside 3DCoat (from version 2023.40+), you can add the additional Quixel folder by following these steps:

1. Open 3DCoat.
2. Go to the Edit > Preferences.
3. Navigate to `Input/Output` tab.
4. Here, you should see an option for `Additional Quixel folder’

5. Set the path to where you’re Quixel folder materials are and hit apply and close.  

If any map is named with a space in the name, the texture is assigned as new Smart Material.

Restart 3DCoat and you will be welcomed with the following:

Add existing materials folder

Also can use this other option for future needs.

Add the Smart materials from an existing folder. A new Materials folder with the same name will be created. Select at least one file to automatically add all the files from the folder to the list.
