Material creation problem

**beele** · January 15th, 2009 11:08 AM

The problem is simple. Whenever I try to create a material in 3ds max (version 8). It does nothing.

I click, like the sdk manual states on create material button, in the cryengine 2 panel in 3dsmax. It opens up the the material editor from the sandbox. So far so good. The manual then states to click the button again, and a window to specify where you want to safe your material should pop up, this however does not happen.

I know there are not to many crysis modders out here, but does someone know why it won't let me make a new material?

You have to have sandbox and max open at the same time when creating materials.

Well I'm using max 2009, sorry I can't help you bud.

I have max 2009, but couldn't get the exporter to work, so I went looking through all of my old stuff and found a copy of my 3dsmax 8 and tried it with that.

How did you get the exporter to work in max 2009?
