Maya presets

Hello everyone! Why my presets of materials are missing?

When I want to Assign New Material, select Blinn or Lambert or another material, in Attribute Editor I don't have Presets list populated, it's empty. Can someone help with that? I have installed Maya 2025.2. Thank you!

No one has faced this problem?

Hi @vasile_tanasan ,

Hmmm interesting. Did you have the materials library and presets downloaded in your previous 2025 version of Maya? The most straightforward way to get the presets is to fully reinstall Maya 2025 and update 2 from scratch. making sure to check the box on install for Arnold etc, which will include the materials presets.

Hope this helps!

Lamberts, Blinns , Phongs never had presets, only Arnold, Vray, Redshift , Renderman and Standard Surface have factory presets. You'll need to create your own presets for outdated shaders and copy them to future installations of Maya. Also presets are saved in the shader and not the shading group.
