Material Files

[liontamer1]

I downloaded a preset pack, but none of them have material files. I know you can create them, but how do I do it? ^_^'

[~Stargazer~]

What do you mean by material files? Like .fhp files? Or, the actual preset files? Ehe, I'm lost.

[liontamer1]

You know the file (in notepad) that has the coding in it? I'm wondering how to make one of those, 'cause, well, I need it.



Sorry it's tiny..

Ah, I do this all the time. Just go into another preset folder and then copy the one from in there. Paste it into the preset folder that is missing one, and then rename it. Make sure to go into the .mat and change the numbers! Example:

material preset_1_body -----> material preset_2_body

Heh, no problem. I work with presets to much. v.v

[liontamer1]

Hold up! It didn't work.. I renamed everything inside of the material file, not sure what I did wrong..

Hmm, you must have just missed something. Could ya' copy and paste the whole .mat up here? I'll look for the problem.

Sure.

o-o This is weird. I do this all the time. Try putting it into another folder like preset 10. Also, maybe save/export all the presets parts as .pngs. (Make sure you fix that in the coding too!)

What is it exactly doing? Is it not showing up in the preset maker or is it just plain white? o-o
