Using Live database is quite simple. Now let's briefly explain the options:

界面

使用Live数据库非常简单。 现在，让我们简要解释一下这些选项：

FILE MENU

There are 3 options here. "Show LiveDB Directory" shows the live DB path on your computer. It is usually the place where Cinema 4D's prefs folder is located. "Show LocalDB Directory" is the path where you save your own material to Local DB. We will be back again this topic in the following steps. Lastly, you can use "Change LocalDB Directory" if you want to change your local material path.

文件菜单

这里有3个选项。 “显示LiveDB目录”显示计算机上的实时数据库路径。通常是Cinema 4D的prefs文件夹所在的地方。显示本地数据库目录''是您将自己的资料保存到本地数据库的路径。我们将在以下步骤中再次返回该主题。最后，如果您想更改本地材质路径，则可以使用“更改LocalDB目录”。

SELECTING materIAL

Selecting material from LiveDB is quite simple. With the left mose button you can choose the material you want. With pressing Shift + LMB or Ctrl + LMB you can select more than one material. If you want to remove any material from the selection, you can still use Ctrl + LMB. If you press RMB when the material is selected, the context menu will appear. We will explain the options here in the next chapter.

选择材质

从LiveDB中选择材质非常简单。使用左侧的按钮，您可以选择所需的材质。通过按Shift + LMB或Ctrl + LMB，您可以选择多种材质。如果要从选择中删除任何材质，仍然可以使用Ctrl + LMB。选择材质后，如果按RMB，将显示上下文菜单。我们将在下一章中解释这些选项。

materIAL prevIew sIze

Here you can determine the size of the material preview thumbnail. You may need to restart Live DB after selecting the size.

材质缩略图尺寸

在这里您可以确定材质预览缩略图的大小。选择大小后，可能需要重新启动Live DB。

SEARCH FUNCTION

It is the search function you see millions of times.

搜索功能

您可以看到无数次的搜索功能。

materIAL prevIewS

This area is for the previews of the material categories. You can choose the materials from here.

材质预览

该区域用于材质类别的预览。您可以从这里选择材质。

materIAL CATEGORIES

Let's explain this area in two parts:

1- LiveDB: All the materials created by users and OTOY are listed under this section. Anyone can use it because it is online.

2- Local DB: This is the section where you save your materials. It is not online, only you will see.

材质类别

让我们分两部分来说明这一领域：

1- LiveDB：用户和OTOY创建的所有资料都在此部分下列出。任何人都可以使用它，因为它是在线的。

2-本地数据库：这是您保存材质的部分。它不在线，只有您会看到。
