A default material library file is provided with the Real Time Rendering products. By default, this file is located:
$CATStartupPath\startup\materials\Catalog.CATMaterial
$CATStartupPath/startup/materials/Catalog.CATMaterial
Note: For languages other than English, a folder identified by the appropriate language contains the Catalog.CATMaterial.
Would you need to open a specific library, you can do so interactively using the Library dialog box. See Applying a Material. |
The environment variable CATStartupPath concatenates start-up directories. When applying a material, the library is looked for according to the user-defined path, and if no specific path has been indicated, the first occurrence of the Catalog.CATMaterial found in the directories listed in the variable is loaded.
