Stupid question, but how do I import marterials from LocalDB? I searched the forum and manual but didn't see any instructions. In Maya, I opened up the dialog from the tool bar, right clicked on my material then selected "import" but i see no material anywhere in the hypershade. Any help for this stupid question?

You just need first to select the object you want to assign this material to.;)
