The Substance Library is a great resource for a wide variety of materials. George shows how to access this library directly from within 3ds Max using the 3ds Max Asset Library extension.
- [Instructor] Another way to access Substance materials … is through 3ds Max's Asset Library. … Now, if you don't have this installed, … you can get it through the Autodesk App Store. … So, if you go to apps.autodesk.com … and do a search for 3ds Max Asset Library, … you should get a page that looks something like this. … So go ahead and download and install it … if you haven't already. … Now when you install it, it comes up … as a separate program. … So here I have it on my desktop. … So if you load this up, you'll see we have … all sorts of content available. … We have CGTrader, and because we installed … the Substance plugin, we also have Substance Source. … And so this allows me to find whatever type … of material I want. … So for example, if I have Camouflage Military … or Ceramic Tiles, and so on. … So all of these are available. … Now, a lot of these are actually purchasable, … and so if you have Autodesk credits, … each one of these typically costs one credit. … Now, this is a great way to get really rich …
