V-Ray for SketchUp includes an extensive library of ready-to-use materials. The material library is accessed by expanding the Asset Editor with the Material Editor tab open. To add a preset to the current SketchUp scene, simply drag and drop a preset material from the Library into the Asset Editor's Material List.
Right-clicking on any material slate from the material library gives the option to apply it directly to the currently selected object or add it to the scene.
You can load your own assets into the Library by using the directory button (). It adds a new file system location to read the .vrmat files.
In Starting with V-Ray 6, the V-Ray Preset Material Library is moved to the Chaos Cosmos Browser. Materials that have already been downloaded with any earlier V-Ray version remain unchanged and can still be loaded as a custom folder. Please use the materials from the Chaos Cosmos Browser for any new projects.
The Browse Materials in Cosmos button opens all available materials in the Chaos Cosmos Browser.
