Open Material Library in the Material/Map Browser
The Auto-Assign Previews tool is designed to search for previews of model and material files.
The new version has an improved preview search, with the fuzzy mode now using a smarter filename matching algorithm.
Select the Fuzzy Search mode and choose a matching level from the Difference drop-down menu (we recommend using Similar or Very Similar). When required, add the words and symbols to be ignored during search (for example, <preview><_>).
Regular expressions (regexes) are also supported.
Auto-Assign Previews tool
Auto-Assign: ExampleTo match the following previews and 3dsMax files
d2458163_3dh_00005_model01.max -> 00005_model01_02.png
a2458124_3dh_00007_model02.max -> 00007_model02_01.png
a2458124_3dh_00007_model02.max -> 00007_model02_02.pnguse these settings:
Filename match: Fuzzy
Ignore:<regex:[0-9,a-z]*_[0-9,a-z]*_>
Difference: Very SimilarClearly, these image names contain some “junk”, which should be excluded. To do this, we use a regex expression to remove the prefixes “d2458163_3dh_”, “a2458124_3dh_” and the like.
