Seeing More Sample Slots
If you have a scene with several materials, and you need to see more sample slots than the
default in the Material Editor, simply right-click on any slot and select either 5 ?— 3 Sample
Windows or 6 ?— 4 Sample Windows from the context menu. This will help you navigate a
heavy scene that has tons of materials that you need to modify. In the following graphics,
you can see the sample slots multiply!
Here??™s what 5 ?— 3 Sample Windows looks like.
And here??™s what 6 ?— 4 Sample Windows looks like.
As you??™ve seen, the sample slots for any given material in the Material Editor constantly
update to show you any changes you??™ve made to that material. However, if you want a
larger image than the relatively small sample slot, doubleclick
on the slot or right-click on the slot and select Magnify
from the context menu, as shown in Figure 7.49.
3ds Max will open a larger window (Figure 7.50),
which is resized by dragging the corners of the window,
with a sample of that material. It will by default update
automatically as you make changes to the material.
