Hi Bernard,
yeah, noIcon is a good idea (plus naming the nodes
to give an idea, like "plug base texture here") but
I meant something else.
Using the dreaded phrase "in Maya or Max I could"
simply create a shader and save it out as either a
Maya *.ma/*.mb file (as if saving a *.scn) or in Max
I could create a materiallibrary file to load into the
materialeditor/slot - I don´t know if something
similar exists for XSI, e.g. saving out all your
materials (as listed in a explorer) and importing
that into another scene?
Cheers
tim

Well you could either include the actual texture in your centralized
library, or you could plug a noIcon in-place.

Hi guys,
there´s options to save material/shader settings
as presets but how do you guys usually organize
your materials for re-use in other projects?
I have several shading networks I´d like to add
to a (hopefully growing) database of materials
but am not sure what´s best to minimize dependecies
(like textures, ambient/light rig settings) while making
sure the material still gives something to work with
on import into a fresh scene?
Cheers
