Hi!

I can't see sample slots in the slate material editor.
This is what I get.

Thank you in advance!

Right click in blank space in the Left pane of the SME and make sure "Sample Slots" is checked.

Thanks for your reply!
I use 2019 version.
There is no such option.

That is strange.  I have a copy of Max 2019 installed and I do have all the options (same as I posted above) when I right click.  You are missing both "Scene Materials" and "sample Slots" from the right click menu.  You could try clicking from your right click menu, clicking on  Additional options>Reset Material Map Browser and see if that restores the missing options.   Do you have max 2019.3  update installed?

Today I will install the update and will let you know what will happen.

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous 

Did you have the chance to install the update? Any success? Let us know if you still need help!

Hi!

I have installed the update and the program and program started to give me errors.

So, I have installed 2021 version.
But the problem is that the 2021 version has different names for maps.
Is there a setting in the 2021 version to have maps names like in the previous versions?

thanks!

Perhaps @10DSpace has some idea?

Sorry, I do not have Max 2021 installed, so I am not sure what new/different map names are causing the confusion.

ok.

Thank you anyway!
