3rd version of Project Manager gains a lot of new features to manage 3D Assets. 
There is most unique from them – the ability to assign custom previews to materials, associate files with materials, and create a gallery of files associated with any type of assets including materials. 
You can also write a description for material and, of course, assign categories to materials.

    • Speeds up mass-rename/move operations for assets

Pointcashe is supported

Hi
The demo-version of "Project Manager" allows to work only with limited number of random files.
If scene contains the less then 8 files the PM allow to work with all links.
For testing the specific modifiers you can create scene with 7 links to external files.
PM support for relink all modifiers and objects, which contains the external links.

Thanks for interest.

>>When merging , please add

>>When merging , please add feature object follow surface direction. 

Ok, I will be add this possibility, but after the release of the final version

Now follow surface also work, but the object is always directed perpendicular to the ground.

This is useful for placing lamps and paintings on the walls.

>>I got some error when rendering one mat file that contain many mat in it. (you know what I mean)

You can manually open this Material library?

Please repost picture.

If possible please send this material library file to e-mail http://3d-kstudio.com/contact

 

>>I got buggy message during rendering ies file

Will be fixes in the next update.

Thank for feedback, Fajar.

when merging , please add

  • when merging , please add feature object follow surface direction.  (merged object, like when object placed in 45 angle surface, object direction also directed 45 angle), like this 
  • I got some error when rendering one mat file that contain many mat in it. (you know what I mean)
  • I got buggy message during rendering ies file (said that "vertical angels out of range for type C photometry", follow by "the photometric  web file "ies file" isnt valid" ), can I got something like checkbox to ignore this message for the next render.....like in windows 7
