FBX export doesn't create Materials (*.mat) anymore

LR

I'm on CE 2017.0 and it just refuses to write out the materials separately in a folder when exporting as FBX. I went through the default export options and pretty much every combination I could come up with, but nada. What could be the cause of this?

CityEngine 2017.0 does not support export of separate .MAT files.
The material information is embedded into the *.FBX file.

However it is possible to generate it within Autodesk 3D Studio Max.
