color/material packs

Hi

I was wondering whether a color/material pack can be found
anywhere for Pro E WF4.

The purpose is to get a better appearance of the parts and
of course the colours are pretty easy to adjust, but I
sometimes miss a better selection of the materials, like
the "marble" or the "brushed steel" appearance, which is
already present in pro E.
 
I have a color file I made up with like 260 colors in it. Some of them are the PTC colors. The colors I add are just standard colors, but I have them organized into color groups like reds, oranges, greens, blues and so on.


Here is a copy of my file:

I guess I tend to stay away from the patterns like marble and what not. They seem to hide the features of the part and make it hard to see what you are looking at.
 
It works fine, thank you for sharing. Will save a little
time on that.

I also found out it's pretty easy to apply textures, just
by jpg files
