Load Material From Assets

Questions & Answers
1

I’m trying to load a Material from my Assets folder. I have this code to do it:

Material myMat = Resources.Load("redmat", typeof(Material)) as Material;

And the file is placed in the Assets folder (“Assets/redmat.mat”). I’ve checked “Assets/Materials/redmat.mat” too.

I’m new to Unity, so I apologize for such an easy question.

Resources.Load() only looks in the Assets/Resources folder. The docs:

is pretty clear on this.

You have to create a “Resources” folder after assets folder. Then you have to place your materials there with or with out “Material” folder and change your code as follows.

//FILE LOCATION ASSETS/RESOURCES/MATERIALS
Material myMat = Resources.Load("Material/redmat", typeof(Material)) as Material;
//FILE LOCATION ASSETS/RESOURCES/
Material myMat = Resources.Load("Material/redmat", typeof(Material)) as Material;

,you have to create a folder called “Resources” then place materials inside it with or without material folder then change you code :

Material myMat = Resources.Load(“Material/redmat”, typeof(Material)) as Material;

Resources folder is implicit on the load function and its not created in a new project by default.
