Yo, Mike. Do you remember doing a video from a year ago about that other Texture generation tool that's called 'Texture Lab'? Well, I thought I should let you know, that tool has been updated to V.0.3. about a couple months back. Also, there's at least two more tools that works quite similarly to Texture Lab. There's one that's called 'Stipple' and the other called 'Symbinode', both of which can found on Itch.io Website. I'm hoping that you'll consider doing a video on those aforementioned tools, as well as, there being an 'update' video on Texture Lab.
Oh my gosh, I am loving godot engine more and more. After working with Unreal for about 6 year mostly on realistic projects, I am more into working with godot on retro styled games like nes and gba games just as my hobby.
If it seems like a comment is missing, that's because a comment is missing. I don't wield the banhammer often, almost never, but I decided we are better off without a certain someone.
Eyes burnt, 10/10 would burn again :D Thank you for the review, an interesting project. I'm new to this kind of stuff so it's kind of intimidating but fun to figure out.
Feels bad man, I'm doing it slowly cause work and hectic life but I try making a couple hours for myself. Especially over the weekends. I started with learning C# and how Unity works but there's a tidal wave I need to do but I realised I don't need to learn and do everything myself. I want to start paying people to do the animation work and 3D modeling, music and sound effects and so on. I'll be directing the look and feel and even putting everything together which is a monumental task in and of itself but it's always doable. Never easy but doable
@@random_precision_software mixamo can only take you so far. It's meant for prototyping which it has been invaluable and I have experience with level design because it affects the flow of your game to the extent that if there were no enemies in the level it should still feel fun to play, interesting because it's one of the best tools for world building and story plus one of the best tools to guide the player or intentionally mislead them. The Stanley Parable comes to mind.
@@silchasruin4487 Ohh ,I wasn't sure how much unity experience you've had, it sounded like you were a beginner, but you seem more advanced, its hard being a lone developer you need to be a master at so many things like coding, animation, level design audio production etc etc etc. I was asking about your level design because I'm looking for some one to help me with it as I am useless at it. Many of my games only have 1 level in them lol, then u get bored and bang on to the next project. Don't get me wrong, I've had a few games published with enough levels to keep people engaged. If your interested have a look at my channel and let me know. Thanks.
@@random_precision_software no worries. Even though level design is hard since you have to think about what you want before implementing anything. Such as perspective, story, and situations that you want the player to have. I always play with the idea of creating levels like water flows through. How easy is it to traverse, what markers can be seen that can act as landmarks. What situation is the player going to face. How many enemies are there, thinking about strategy. How can the environment work for or against the player. I'll have a look and try get into contact to see what you're making
Since this was made with godot, they should export a web assembly module to allow it to be used directly from a website. Perhaps with a sponsor who gets advertising.
Hi, I have been using substance painter for quite a while but I have been looking for an alternative since Adobe tookover. I can see that I could emulate my current workflow here but I have gathered a huge library of materials, smart materials and alphas that I would like to import to Material Maker, can it be done?
Main thing that I want to know is what are the permissions for the materials on their site? Like, if I wanted to use the materials there for a game I make in Unity, would I be prevented from selling my game for money because I used the materials from their site, or am I still allowed to monetize my game?
Each material has a license and all licenses are derived work friendly (other licenses would defeat the purpose of sharing materials, right?). Most active Material Maker users are on our discord server if you want to contact them.
Yep, this program really wants to go for "All-in-one" such as procedural generated texture and painting textures, but I think I just gonna to use this program as procedural generating textures for now. Really sucks at drawing tbh.
Should be noted he's going fast but benefits from a lot of peoples having done the same thing before Not defending adobe of course, but he didn't have to do nearly as much "research" as them
To be honest you have great content , though i cant stand the voice modulation, too exaggerated ,my fault I am been intolerant i know, thanks for the hard work, good vibes.
Bridge? It can export directly for Godot and Unity. Just export, and you have your material. For Unreal, it generates all textures you need, just have to create a material from them (didn't manage to automate this, if anyone has a solution...). What would a bridge add to this?
Hey can I install Material Maker on blender? I assume that MM is a py file. Is that correct? Blender runs py files that are designed to use the Blender UI
MM is its own standalone program, not a plugin for Blender. It's not a python script, it's written in gdscript. But as it's open source, you could port it into a Blender plugin.
God those nodes look... Very artist unfriendly... Not sure if this program is any good. Tho if I didn't have substance designer this may be the second best... Not like there are many options for free material creators.
Well ultimately the results are just a series of textures, so really the Unity export is just a time saver by defining the material for you. It might take like a minute more, but you can use the results in whatever engine or pipeline you want.
I have no idea what "Unity URP" is (never really used Unity) but it seems I should add this export to the roadmap. ;) Next Material Maker release will have configurable "Material" nodes, so you can add your own export options. A few basic "Material" options will be available, including "animated PBR" (will generate shaders for Godot and Unity, currently investigating Unreal...).
@@RodzLabs urp is the lighte rendering system for unity and the have plant to replace the standard rendering systems on the future i also have i great shader editors call shader graph in the order to make unique and material thing something like unreal engine matiral editor Beasley the unity have 3 render system now 1. the standard that im no sure how the call 2. the urp that is the lighter 3. and the hdrp that is the high detail one
i wish these one guy geniuses would form a group and make a deeper project instead of these "hey can i do that too?" projects. there def needs to be a good alt to sd and sp but these lone wolf projects never get deep or quality enough to matter much. plus if im going to invest in my time to learn it then i want to be sure itll be around a while. i know what an asshole...i get it,,, just my 2cts
Well this project is still a lone wolf project, but with quite a few awesome contributors. I'm still handling most core features on my free time. Sure I could work full day on free software, but hey you don't want my wife and children to starve, do you? ;)

@@MrERJ1992 I was aware of Texture Lab and Symbinode, but not Stipple. Looks quite nice as well.
The more, the merrier! :)

I think that guy just removed all of his/her hateful comments of this video. I saw them yesterday and now they are gone.
Nice video, I didn't know there was any good alternatives for Subtance Painter. Material Maker is a life saver.

Depends on what you need - Blender is a lot better than people give it credit for - you just have to get a little more technical with nodes...

Very cool! Thanks for the update and overview!
awesome mate. Thank u so much
well I was going to watch this video then he made it the light theme, guess I'm not watching anything for a while till my eyes comeback. :)
You were warned.
"Al-bee-doh." But thank you for sharing this, this looks like it will be very useful software!
Your content is amazing, good joob bro
This tool looks super cool!! Great alternative to substance
Yum! Those were some GoDot Nuts!
And Canonically that's how Tie-Fighters are supposed to look like...
Surprising to see Ptex. It's really cool but I haven't heard any mention of it since 3D-Coat added support like 10 years ago.
Oops, didn't spot that this extension had already been used. It's just a JSON-based format that stores material graphs.
Since this was made with godot, they should export a web assembly module to allow it to be used directly from a website.
Perhaps with a sponsor who gets advertising.
it doesn't have two basic features but also very important, UNDO & REDO, haizz :((
This should become one with Armor Paint

not yet

Godot is versatile
Can Material Maker create equirectangular textures?
How does this compare to Texturelab?
BIG mistake to have the extension be "ptex" this extension has already been taken by Pixar/Disney
But Pixar's tools are proprietary and not even publicly available, so I don't think it will matter
This developed A LOT since last time eh?
Hi Mike, have you taken a look at Agama Materials? Maybe you could do a video on it when you have time, Cheers.
Yeah, I was gonna mention that, along with Stipple and Texture Lab.
Have you seen the Shade app on iOS by the same guys who make Codea? It's another shader graph editor, although it's $$$ to get unity/blender export.
Yep, this program really wants to go for "All-in-one" such as procedural generated texture and painting textures, but I think I just gonna to use this program as procedural generating textures for now. Really sucks at drawing tbh.
The painting features are certainly 0.1alpha level, but are a step forward. Will be interesting to see where it ends up.
Yes I admit it does still suck for painting. But I try 4 releases a year (and kinda succeded so far), so it progresses step by step.
This only tells you how slow this megacorps work XD If one man can go this fast and this good how come corpos didn't yet broke the ceiling?

does anyone noticed thid guy is faster than eminem
