Project Manager version 2.80.61

Since the first version, Project Manager supports the creation of materials when drag image files or shaders objects to scene objects or into Material Editor.
By default is created a material with texture map in the diffuse slot.
Both of them – the material and texture map are created compatible with the current renderer.
So will be created the Vray material with Bitmap texture in the diffuse slot when using the Vray Renderer, and in case if you use the Corona Renderer, the Corona material with Corona Bitmap will be created.
Also you can choose the desired type of material from the dropdown list.

In the new version, you can create your own sample material and set the default settings – for example reflection, glossiness and set the texture type with desired default parameters. Creating a complex materials with textures in different slots of material is also supported.
Look at this short video to understand the process.

With the new version you can use VRscans Materials – super realistic and physically correct materials from the Chaos Group.
The VRscans system captures the appearance of an actual physical material.
The information is saved in a .vrscan file, which the VRayScannedMtl material then reads to reproduce the material in the rendering.
Also in new version added the support for such shaders as DarkTree, OSL and GLSL.

For using those shaders add the directories with related files (.VRSCAN, .DSTS, .OSL, .OSO, .GLSL, .FRAG , .PFRAG ) to “Textures” tab
