Material Maker 1.2

Material Maker
A downloadable tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Material Maker has been updated to version 1.2, introducing a host of new features, including support for variadic nodes and more flexible material export targets, as well as several new nodes.

I am grateful to everyone who has supported this project through Patreon or by making a donation here on itch.io. I also want to extend my thanks to those who have contributed new nodes or features to Material Maker, suggested new features or reported bugs on Discord or Github, or shared amazing materials on the Material Maker website.

General

Nodes

Miscellaneous

  • Self-connections of subgraphs are now allowed if they don't form a loop, and loop detection has been optimized (contributed by myaaaaaaaaa). This solves a weird behavior of Material Maker where it was possible to create self connected group nodes (with, of course, no actual loop in the graph) nodes by creating the subgraph after the connections. Loop detection could also take a very long time with group nodes with lots of outputs.
  • The .mmg format (used for predefined nodes) has been modified to be more Version Control System friendly (contributed by myaaaaaaaaa).

Fixes, optimizations

  • Files are now removed from the recent projects list when they fail to load (contributed by Arnklit).
  • The Comment node now selects correctly its children, regardless of the current zoom level (contributed by Zhibade).
  • The alignment of inputs in the Uneven Bricks 2 node has been fixed (contributed by Arnklit).
  • Command line exporting has been fixed (contributed by myaaaaaaaaa).
