So I downloaded a material(glass material) from VRay and I went to the material edit and opened the material library to import the .mat file. But afterwards it shows up as (missing material) and the icon is black. I do not really know what else to do, I downloaded the .mat file from the official website please help! I am new to 3DS Max

sorry about that.. if you can post some sample appearance of the material you are looking for, then it would be better.

heres the file of the material that I downloaded, I didn't really do anything with the render.jpeg, not sure if that file was just a picture of the material or i have to do something with it.
