I have gotten 3DS MAX to finally operate. I have gotten over the shock that Mental Ray is not there. Now I am trying to create an object. I wanted to apply Ceramic default Autodesk material, I opened the material editor selected Autodesk Default ceramic material and it is missing the Images.

There is no Map Image. I get the Map image Block connected to the material editor but no map is found its just a black square.

I cant figure out where to go to relink it either.Is there a solution? What am I missing? Do I really have to build all these materials from scratch?

Under Utilities, select LumberyardExport, select the object, and then choose AddSelected to place the object in the GeometryExport list.In the 3ds Max panel on the right, under Modifier List, selectEditable Mesh, Polygon.In the viewport, select the top face. Then, under Surface Properties,click Set ID and set the value to 2. This makes the top faceuse the second material in the final material group.Select the other faces and set their Set ID values to 1. The final facecoloring should match the one shown in the following image.
