How to save user made materials in zbrush

Hi,

I downloaded leather material from this website but when i open my file in another computer my leather material gets vanish.

Is anyone know how to save material in the material pallete so tht whenever i open my file i get leather material on my character.

thanx

save your material in the folder materials…theres a few of them…but it’s the one in the startup folder…now it knows that it should include them…only works if it’s on the same pc.

Materials are not a part of the ZTL or OBJ file. If you have PolyPainted a material onto the model, the ZTL format will store the material’s index value. That doesn’t store the material; it simply tells ZBrush what slot to look at for the material.

So if you have a custom material that you want to use with the file on multiple computers, you must first load the ZTL into ZBrush on the computer and then you must select a specific material slot. In that slot, you need to load your leather material. If you use the same slot every time you load the model, then the model will display the correct material.

how could i select material slot?
