Now the best part - I managed to make a button to create new material (actually to load one saved earlier) - which means that this is exactly what I wanted, even more, I have more control, because I can define more commonly used materials (like white matte, black matte, chrome, etc) and add them via single click.
How did you do this pls Mac? I couldn't find a Rhino command to load a rmtl file.

Paul, I found it here:
http://tips.rhino3d.com/2011/06/new-com ... no-v5.html
And the command itself is:
RenderLoadMaterialFromFile
Which is not auto completing in command line of rhino - but it works.
Guys, I am working on the toolbar for adding materials with single click + some more goodies
Regards,
Mac

Thanks Mac - I was unaware of those Rhino commands. The RenderRemoveUnusedMaterials command could be useful too.

Great news
I tested saving octane materials to file - It works flawlessly. I thought that I can save only rhino materials that way. Now I think I will save all my octane materials to files - it is easier and quicker to add them this way instead of creating and than importing from localdb.
Now the best part - I managed to make a button to create new material (actually to load one saved earlier) - which means that this is exactly what I wanted, even more, I have more control, because I can define more commonly used materials (like white matte, black matte, chrome, etc) and add them via single click.
Thank you Paul, your tip was crucial.
P.S. - If someone is interested in a toolbar with such a buttons let me know, I'll create such one and upload on the forums.
