3ds Max Material Help

[obviouslytom]

I use 3ds Max a lot both at home and at work and I keep getting a material error that I can not find a solution for.

I know some people here use Max so my question is this.

When I open up a file, it pops up and says that some materials are missing and lists the names and locations. The problem is that the files it asks for do not exist. Currently one project I am working on at home has popped up with the same message.

Is there a way to remove the files?

Here is the message that I am getting with the current project. These files are not in this project at all.

You need to find the materials that reference those maps and remove the references. The easiest way is to use this script. Turn on Interactive Mode, select a map and it will select the object to which its parent material is assigned. Sample the object in the Material Editor, find the map slot with the missing map and clear it. Repeat as necessary.

I will give this script a shot when I get a chance at work today.
