Transferring User Material Presets between R11 and 12
Attempting to open R11 scenes in version 12 has been an exercise in retraining the new program where to locate textures and preset materials. What is the best way to transfer the User Material Preset folder, if in fact it is a folder, over into 12? I haven’t been able to find it myself. It’s listed as preset//user.lib4d/materials/tex/DarkWood.jpg for example. Also, once I save a material preset, I’ve never found a way to go in and delete a saved material (in R11) or access them other than the standard process of applying them to an object.

I think what you need to do is make sure that the *.lib4d files that were in your R11 Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\etc.etc.\Library\Browser folder are copied over to the equivalent folder in your R12 AppData\…\Browser folder.
As far as I know, the only way to extract the bitmaps from a library/bitmap file is to use the File>Save Project command.

I’m still trying to copy my .lib4d files from R11 to 12 but haven’t been able to locate the R11 Users folder. Is it accessible through Windows Explorer or do I need to go through C4D itself to find it?

It should be at the same root location as the R12 folder.
