I was having very hard time to find on the internet the answer & then was very busy for my design work that is why could not reply soon. I really appreciate your help & thank you for your time. If you have any other comments about the library layout or its existing contents, please post here on the forum. Even of you don't go to that trouble, I will go through the process here. If you are really keen, you will use the material preview scene in the 'Scenes' folder of the library to render a preview of the material and send it to me - preferably as a BMP file - zipped up with the rmtl. If you would like to submit a material for the library, please send it to me at as an rmtl file. I hope you'll help me to achieve that aim over the next few months. My hope is that with user input and some work here at McNeel, we can expand the library to around 2000 materials. There are currently about 220 materials and 35 environments included in the library. And you can drag and drop these fully previewable files directly onto Rhino objects to assign them.

On Windows Vista onwards, you can increase the size of the thumbnails in both the library panel and Windows Explorer up to 256x256.

And perhaps the most important thing - I've customized the thumbnail previews so that they are detailed versions of the rendered previews on this website. I've made sure that all of the textures and HDRs are included, and properly pathed. In addition to collecting together all of the materials that we've had on this site, I've also put together ready environment files made from all of Brian James' HDRs. In addition, it installs a 'Favorites' link in Windows Explorer on Windows Vista, 7 and 8. And it installed into a sub-directory of the 'Render Content' folder that opens in the Libaries panel. It only works on Rhino 5.0 at the moment. The first beta of this material library is available from here:

I think it's time to do something about it, so I've decided that we're going to put together as full featured a material library as possible which can be downloaded in one piece from this website. The Brazil material library issue is something that's been bubbling away at McNeel for years, and never really suitable resolved.
