I guess it's time to write a help system :). Short notes about how to
use the studio and materials available by clicking (?).

I mentioned somewhere, that these materials are from Mike Miller's
collection. To browse them please enter materials directory and render
'samples_default.pov' (http://localhost:8085/data/download/studio.zip).

You are absolutely right about standard materials, I will include them
in my library later, after finishing main functionality. In general,
preparing materials is a simple, but time consuming task, moreover I
need to adjust lighting for better matcap rendering. Any assistance
related to this part of the project is highly appreciated. :)
