The Material/Map Browser contains the following controls: Material/Map list The main part of the Material/Map Browser dialog is a scrollable list of materials and maps. The list indicates a material with a blue sphere, and indicates a map with a green parallelogram. When you list both materials and maps, the materials are listed first. NOTE Icons of materials and maps for which Show Standard/Hardware Map in Viewport on page 5350 is on are red. Also, the names of instanced on page 8014 materials and maps appear in boldface. Both of these effects are shown in the following illustration: Text entry As you enter a material name in this field, the first matching text item is selected in the list. Press Enter to select the next matching name, and so on. For example, if you enter ch when the list includes the material names Cherry Red, Chrome Blue, and Chrome Zinc, Cherry Red is selected first. Press Enter, and the Chrome Blue is selected. Press Enter again, and Chrome Zinc is selected. The search is not case-sensitive. Sample slot Below the text-entry field is a single sample slot. This displays a sample of the current selection. You can drag the sample to any other sample slot or material button. The sample slot display is interruptible, so you can quickly click from one list item to the next without waiting. In addition, if you complete the display of one sample, then move on to another sample, when you return to the first sample, it displays instantly. Tool buttons The first part of this row of buttons controls how you view the list. The second part is for managing material libraries. 5296 | Chapter 19 Material Editor, Materials, and Maps
