Doubt about Default Material

[micheus]

I was expecting to see the new settings under Edit > Preferences > General Tab > Materials.

oort, the basic idea is keep the things simple.
The default material will not be changed a lot, so thinking about preview the changes the best/easy way to do that is in the material editor. Also, those buttons being shown for every material is temporary - they will be available only for the defaut material.

Are you learning enough about materials to add the ability to export, import and share them????

you can open a new thread for expose your ideas about that. Let see what happens after.

MikeJ, as I told, the way it's getting done is the most simple and easy to be set. The diffuse color in the preferences will be there for the restore option - still hard coded. The three color schemas present in Wings use/set it and something we need to think is about compatibility.
