mia material presets

[lee griggs]

anyone know why there are so many more presets in Max than there are in Maya?

has anyone managed to convert the other presets to Maya?

thanks Hot Chip!

I am using Maya 8.5

I have copied the presets to:

C:\Documents and Settings\lg\My Documents\maya\8.5\presets\attrPresets\Brushed_Met al.mel

but they do not appear in the presets of the default MIA material in 8.5

I noticed the mel files state maya 8.0 at the top in word.

Do I have to install the mia architectural that is in the zip file in order for the presets to work or can they work with the default MIA material in maya 8.5?

cheers,
lee

What are those missing in maya?
