I was wondering if a 3DS Max user could give me some tips on the best way to get mental ray custom shader icon to show up in the 3DS Max Material/Map Browser window. I created the properly named and sized icons using the icon creation details from the 3DS Max Help documents.

I have an existing lens shader named domeAFL_FOV that I am working on.

At this point I've created custom icons named domeAFL_FOV_16i.bmp and domeAFL_FOV_16p.bmp. The icon ending in _16i.bmp is the color icon. The icon ending in _16p.bmp is the alpha mask image.

I copied the BMP formatted icons to the Max 2013 icons folder:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\<3ds Max version>\UI_ln\IconsDark

What do I have to do to make the custom icon visible?

Thanks,
Andrew Hazelden
