How to use the material in Max 2011

[tahseen]

sorry am new to max

I downloaded the material but now what? where should I place it so that I can see it when I click the diffuse for choosing material?

Note that not all of the materials are Max 2011 compatible yet. You can limit the list by searching for 2011.

Given that you downloaded a 2011 compatible material, there should be a .pdf enclosed describing how to use the material in 3ds max. If you have trouble following the instructions there, please tell me where the pdf fails to help you.

From your post, i read that you somewhere "click on diffuse". This soundas a bit like you already have a material (Max standard material?) and try to add a texture to the diffuse slot. You can not use the material library materials as textures as they are materials. They need to be used as materials directly.

I hope this is of help for you,
