Hi filippo, I found that in Sketchup forum (I'm Maya user):

http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/fo ... php?t=4198

First post, SU-material-preview.zip.

If you open the igs in a text editor, you will find the following line 139:

Code: Select all

<!-- included material to preview -->

	<include>
		<pathname>previewmats.igs</pathname>
	</include>

<!-- scene mesh data -->

This means you must create an include file with the name specified (previewmats.igs), containing:

Code: Select all

<scene>
	<material>
		<name>your material name</name>
		<your material, copied from an exported scene>
	</material>
</scene>

Everything is defined in the big igs, only the test material is added by the user through that <include> file.

I remember there was another version in obj format, but I didn't find the thread... ah, I found the official one:

wich leads to:

Still not the obj version, you'll have to find it by yourself filippo
