Twilight Render User Forum

Hi,
Is it possible use materials form Kerkythea?
Thanks, Hub

Hi, Hub and Welcome!
Yes, Please read the user maual section on Materials. This is also mentioned in the tutorial videos.

Thanks for quick response. I've searched forum but no luck.
I'll try with manual
Hub

either point Twilight to read also your KT materials folder, or copy your materials folder and paste it into Twilight Plugin's materials folder beside the other libraries there.

Thanks a lot Fletch.
I've add paths to Kerky materials in Twilight and it works.
One annoying thing is that I must wait a few second to see content of the library (e.g. Woods by Darren) in comparison with generic library.

only when loading the lib for the first time, right? it has to load the textures and previews at some time, right? and the higher the number of textures and the higher the res. of the textures, the longer the load time... depending on your machine's ram speed I suppose.

Not longer than when opening them in KT, isn't it?

Do you have to unzip the files or leave them the way Kerythea reads them?

In the manual it says to unzip, but I tried that and didn't see where it added the material. Maybe I didn't look in the right place.

Kerkythea has its own way of importing these *.mat.zip files and will take care of unzipping/installing them to the proper folders.
Twilight then should be able to read this folder nicely.

please make sure your folder looks something like this: (the material packs shown in these examples are available to licensed users, but the principle is the same as the free Kerkythea materials.)
