Create New Material with Material Editor

by Jordan Eyres · in Torque 3D Professional · 08/04/2010 (12:51 pm) · 2 replies

When using the Material Editor I am unable to create and save a new material.

Saving changes to an already existing material works just as expected.

Interestingly 
materialEditorGui.currentMaterial.getFilename()
returns tools/materialEditor/scripts/materialEditor.ed.cs.

So it has occurred to me that a material.cs file is not being created for the new materials.

Looking at the Material Editor video it shows a materialEditor directory being created.

Am I using the material editor wrongly?


Have tried in 1.1 Beta 1 & 2 but with no success.

make a shape, load it in game, assign changes to the material and save..the materials.cs file will be in the same directory as the shape.
(works like this in 1.1b1)

For my particular case I wish to create a material that contains a cubemap for the skybox.

So there is no "shape" so to speak.


Thanks for you reply.
