There are several ways to get a preview of material:
The first image in the gallery is used as a preview of the material.
Use “drag & drop” to change the file position in the gallery.Auto-Assign Preview
The new version has the enhanced ability to auto-assign previews for materials even if the preview files are in different directories.
Also, you can specify the AVI, TIF, GIF, or custom file type for use as a preview for material.You can assign a preview to the selected materials, as well as process all materials in selected directories and subdirectories.
You can specify directories to search for previews, set a filter for directories and choose whether to consider the suffix for preview files. In the “Extensions” section, you can choose file-types to use as previews or add your own.
Rendering
