The Autodesk Material Library consists of three sub-libraries:
■ Autodesk Material Library 2012: Contains the material appearances used
for Realistic Appearance in color styles. This component is installed by
default, and it is required for 3ds Max to have full visual style and color
style functionality. It is recommended you do not uninstall this component
unless you are also uninstalling all Autodesk products that require this
library.
■ Autodesk Material Library 2012 Base Image Library: Contains low-resolution
(approximately 512 x 512) images for use with Autodesk Materials. This is
also installed by default.
■ Autodesk Material Library 2012 Medium Image Library: Contains
medium-resolution (approximately 1024 x 1024) images for rendering
materials in medium detail. This library is used for close-ups, and for
rendering objects at a larger scale. This library is an installation option
available on the Select Products to Install page in the installation wizard.
NOTE To reinstall the material libraries, run the corresponding MSI:
