Material Creator Plugin Demo

This plugin demo contains a custom material creation dock inside the Godot editor.

Custom docks are made of Control nodes, they run in the editor, and any behavior must be done through tool scripts. For more information, see this documentation article: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/plugins/editor/making_plugins.html#a-custom-dock

Features

• Adjust albedo color, metallic and rouphness values interactively.
• Apply the generated material to selected 3D nodes in the editor.
• Save and load materials in two ways:
  • .silly_mat: Custom Godot Resource type, handled by custom saver/loader included in the plygin.
  • .mtxt: Plain-text format. Useful for external editing or as an interchange format.
  • .tres: Standard Godot resource format (works without the custom loader).

Implementation notes

• .silly_mat format is registered through SillyMatFormatSaver and SillyMatFormatLoader in the plugin.
• Custm docks are built from Control nodes and run as @tool scripts.
