Left-click the  button to assign a V-Ray material or restore the last one assigned. Right-click it to open the V-Ray assets drop-down list.

The  button extracts the selected material to the Asset Editor where asset color and other properties can be modified.

Any modification can be reset through the Reset Materials button.

The settings at the bottom of the tab become available after selecting a Cosmos item(s) from the list, and are applied only at render time.

Selection Type – Indicates the type of assets that have been selected from the list.

Scale – Scales the selected Cosmos 3D assets(s).

Rotation – Rotates the selected Cosmos 3D asset(s) around its vertical axis.

Randomize – Defines scale and rotation range (min/max) for the selected items to be randomized. Use the Refresh () button on the right to choose between random combinations. Use the Navigation history arrows () to switch back and forth between random combinations.

In case of missing Chaos Cosmos assets that need to be downloaded, the Appearance Manager toolbar icon appears with an orange warning dot indicator. As long as there are missing assets, the indicator stays orange.

The same indicator appears on the Families tab and in the Search field, when opening the Appearance Manager. When you click on the indicator in the Search field, it filters and displays only the missing assets that need to be downloaded. In such case, the regular filter and search cannot be used and are disabled.

The download button starts downloading the missing asset. It works on both single and multiple selection. When downloading is triggered, a progress bar and percentage appear next to each item.
