A Reminder
I know I've written this time and time again but it is really
important: As you learn how to use 3ds Max, it is best to cus-
tomize the UI to your liking. The more you set what you like
in the UI, the more you'll remember where things are, limit-
ing the time spent searching and getting irritated about not
being able to find something. If I write something that you
think will be helpful, go ahead and make it a hotkey or put it in
your quad menu. Your learning experience will be greatly
improved and you're probably not going to get lost in 3ds
Max's sometimes-intimidating UI.
By default 3ds Max has many of the features talked about
in this chapter in the quad menus. Don't be afraid to explore
Max more and even reread some of the sections above to cus-
tomize your quad menu and hotkeys!
Now let's explore the Material Editor.
