Thumbnails in the material gallery are displayed in very low quality.

much worse than in material editor of 3ds Max

Is it possible to configure this somehow?

This is limitations of interactive rendering preview.
Just render preview to get better quality.
You can render preview one by one or using Batch Render tool, shipped with Project Manager

THANKS A LOT

Hi!

I have a ambient occlusion shader. It is a standard Arnold material with AO map. It is fine to add it to materials but when I go to thumbnails and render it, it renders a flat white color map instead of a sphere or a material globe. Also, is it possible to assign your own custom thumbnails from disk?

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Just drag the image to the material/render preview or use the auto-assign preview tool. Note, that these options are available only for material libraries, not for scene materials.

Hello, based on my testing, the plugin doesn’t seem very friendly with Arnold. When using thumbnails, specifying the use of the Arnold renderer always fails. Is this the case?

[Krzysztof Levin]

thank you. I did replace substance thumbnails. It all went ok, until the previews dissapeared for some reason and they refused to be replaced again. I drag the thumbnail into the PM but nothing happens. I worked really hard on this so Im sort of bummed now. I do not know what to do.

Did you link it in rendering settings?

[Krzysztof Levin]

3dsmax freezes sometimes to the point that I have to restart it again when dragging thumbnails. But I did figure out why they won´t show up. There is a number on each, and that is how many images there are for the shader. I have to delete them, and then drag into position. So I guess, it´s not that bad.

It shouldn’t freeze. It looks like a bug. Please generate a bug-report.
