typeinfo

Creation of V-Ray materials is available from two places in the Asset Editor: the Create Asset button and the Materials category icon (top).

If you haven't created any assets yet, left- or right-click on the Materials category icon, will open the drop-down dropdown and will prompt you to create a new asset. If you already have assets, left-click selects and displays only the category you have clicked on. Alt + left click on the category keeps both categories displayed in the outliner, whereas right-click opens the asset creation drop-downdropdown.

The Asset creation dropdown lists remain active when the Ctrl key is held, allowing the creation of multiple assets in quick succession.

There are some context options that V-Ray materials have.

The Search Scene field searches the assets by name from all the categories that are selected.

Right-click on any material in the Material's list for a context menu to appear.

Select a material to Use as Replacement for any other material in the project. Then use either the Replace In Scene option or the Replace All References option. The Replace In Scene option replaces the selected material everywhere it has been used across the Appearance Manager tabs as well as on the Infinite Ground Plane. The Replace All References option replaces the selected material everywhere it is referenced by other materials such as Two-Sided, Blend, Bump, Override, Subsurface Scattering, Toon Override, and Wrapper. For example, a Generic material is used as part of a Two-Sided material and a Bump material. Replace All References will overwrite the Generic material in both Two-Sided and Bump.
